Loyal 'Scouse' On The Wonder Goal That Never Was!

Q: As a lad growing up on Merseyside, which club did you follow? Who were your boyhood heroes? (From Berlin Wolf). A: Everton were my team; I used to watch some great players like Alex Young, Roy Vernon and Dave Hickson, who played for Liverpool as well. He was a really hard player. Then there was Brian Labone and the one that really stood out to me was Bobby Collins. He was great at Everton and went on to Leeds but he reminded me of Dave Mackay; a great tackler. He was hard, he could play, he was a great captain - very similar to Mike Bailey. He was that sort of player.

Neil In Limbo After Rush Of Honours

John Richards' latest Q & A interview has taken on a slightly difference appearance - due partly to the special challenges presented by phone conversations across the world. Wolves Heroes' co-owner engaged Skype to renew acquaintances with Neil Emblen, a man he knew well from his time on the Molineux board in the mid-1990s.

Festive Treat We Savoured For 12 Years

Q: I believe your arrival at Molineux was something of an eye-opener? (From JR) A: I was sold by the Manchester City manager George Poyser, who had scouted for Wolves many years earlier. It was Boxing Day, 1964. I signed at 12 noon and played at 3pm!

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.
