Q And A Part Two

A week and a half ago, we launched our new Player Q and A, with John Richards offering revealing insights into the long goal-grabbing segment of his Wolves career. In part two, the former striker concentrates more on his years as the club's managing director.

JR Opens Up - Again!

Wolves Heroes will publish the second half of the John Richards Q and A tomorrow. The club's former record goalscorer and managing director received a host of questions both from readers of this website and members of www.molineuxmix.co.uk

Winger's Revealing Insight

Molineux legend Dave Wagstaffe features heavily in the latest issue of the highly popular football nostalgia magazine, Backpass. An article about the long-time outside-left, with photographs, spreads across two pages of the glossy 68-page publication under the headline 'Rolled Gold'.

No Gentle Letting Down For Colin

Colin Brazier has revealed how his six-year Wolves stay came to a sudden and premature end - in a way that somehow summed up his career. It was a case of one door opening and another shutting firmly in his face when the club's 1980 League Cup final substitute was greeted with the fateful news by Ian Greaves 15 months later.

How The Major Shamed Cup Flops

Disappointed that Wolves didn't put Crystal Palace away at the first attempt in their FA Cup meeting at Molineux yesterday? Mick McCarthy's mood, it would appear, was much lighter than that almost 80 years ago of one of his predecessors, Major Frank Buckley, after a third-round defeat against Mansfield.

Skipper Savours VIP Weekend

Mike Bailey's visit back to the West Midlands last week didn't end with his induction to Wolves' Hall of Fame. The club's inspirational former captain returned to Molineux for the Premier League game against Wigan two days later and even took in a pre-match meeting on the way.

Welcome Addition To 'Heroes' Pages

Cast your eyes a few inches to the right of this item to see where on the home page we have located our new feature. John Richards proved a predictably popular first subject in our Player Q and A area, so much so that the piece we have just posted with him is to spill over into a part two before the end of January.

Molineux Legend First In Line

Wolves Heroes is delighted to launch the promised 2010 addition to this website - a feature being overseen by no less a figure than John Richards. JR is to approach a different former player every few weeks and put to them questions submitted directly to us by our readers or through our link-up with www.molineuxmix.co.uk Keep your eyes on the news area of our site to see who he will be targeting first. For now, though, the stage is all his as he takes his place as the first subject in our Player Q and A. Over to him......

Steve Heads For Lancashire Hot Pot

Steve Kindon has been booked as the 'aperitif' for corporate fans at next week's spicy encounter between Bolton and one of his former clubs, Burnley. The ex-Wolves striker, now a highly popular after-dinner speaker, has the thorny Reebok date in his diary for Tuesday, January 26 - a couple of weeks before he heads for the Midlands and a February 11 engagement at Walsall.

Pee Wee's Contented Glow

There are surely worse jobs than being head coach of the San Diego Sea Lions from division two of the Women’s Professional Soccer League. That is the 'fate' of Paul Dougherty, remembered fondly as Pee Wee, the tiny midfield dynamo of mid-1980s Wolves - and he is clearly very happy with his lot. Last season was his first in charge at San Diego and he turned round a side who had won four games and lost nine by leading them to a top-three position from which they just missed the play-offs.
