Goodman On Crossing The Black Country Divide

Q: Did you have any hesitation joining Wolves after being an Albion player previously? (From topcat99) A: No hesitation whatsoever. I was ambitious and wanted to play in the Premier League. That was my driving force in leaving Albion in the first place.

A Quality Full-Back - Too Right

Q: Am I correct in saying that, when you signed for Wolves, you were a right-back before becoming our left-back for all those years? (From Fleet Wolf). A: Yes, I was a right-back at Huddersfield and came to Wolves in that position. I was hopeless with my left foot. I stayed in that role until Bernard Shaw was signed by Bill McGarry – he was also right-footed but was signed to play at left-back. He was like me, though. He couldn’t kick with his left, so McGarry stuck me out there.

Coaching And Punditry Figuring High

Q: As someone who has seen it all at first hand, what do you think Wolves can and will achieve over the coming years? (From WolvesAreBoringOnCeefax). A: I definitely feel they will stay up this year. I think we’re getting more experienced and adjusted to the Premier League.

When Sky Was Limit For Giant Keeper

Q: At what age did you realise you had the necessary ability to become a professional footballer? (From WolvesAreBoringOnCeefax) A: My mum says I used to dribble the ball up and down the garden as soon as I could walk. I was fascinated by kicking it, picking it up and catching it. My earliest memory is when I was about four, playing football with all my cousins. I was the youngest so they stuck me in goal.

Midfielder Admits: 'I Wasn't Good Enough For A Full Cap'

Q: You were quite young when you knew Wolves wanted to sign you, so how did you feel? And how does it feel to look back on it now? (From Oldgold Wolfcub) A: The only thing I knew about Wolverhampton Wanderers was that they played in gold and black. I didn’t know where Wolverhampton was. I’d seen the team a little bit on television and had heard about Derek Dougan and Peter Knowles but that was it.

Ken's Pride At Joining Elite Group

Kenny Hibbitt was one of Wolverhampton Wanderers' finest ever midfielders and was at Molineux for Wednesday's memorable win over Chelsea. He will be back at the stadium tonight for a special honour, so we have chosen this time to catch up with him and quiz him at length, with part one of our feature focusing on his big evening.

Long Molineux Career Had Shaky Start

Andy Thompson is one of Wolves' most popular players of recent decades. He joined the club at the same time as his good friend, Steve Bull, and together they saw Wolves through a traumatic but eventually successful period. I started off by asking Andy about his current employment, as a teacher, and enquired why he decided to move into that profession.

Bailey Reflects On 'Good Times'

Conducting the second part of my interview with Mike was more difficult than I imagined. Considering he is supposed to be retired, he is out and about more than many of my friends who work full-time. Mind you, he does enjoy his golf and, when I eventually tracked him down, he admitted he spends a lot of his time out on the course. And who can blame him? So, it was 8.30 one morning when I pinned him down - and he exercised his skipper's preroragative to tell me to get a move on as he was teeing off at 10am!

Two Caps A Poor Reward For Awesome Leader

By John Richards This latest Q & A has been particularly enjoyable for me because it involves my former captain and team-mate, Mike Bailey. Mike was the man who led us to the final of the UEFA Cup in 1972 and then succeeded in lifting the League Cup two years later. He was a natural leader and an inspirational player. He was without doubt the best captain I ever played under and I firmly believe Wolves have not had a captain of his calibre since he left in 1976.
