A Manager Like No Other

So who is the longest-serving Wolves manager of all time? The serial winner Stan Cullis? Or Major Frank Buckley, the man who brilliantly built the club on youth before the war? Neither. Try Wolverhampton-born Jack Addenbrooke. Nothing could be more fitting by way of introducing our forthcoming new Managers area than to profile one of the club’s true stalwarts.

Title Race Collapse - A Fan's Theories

Our article on Wolves' unexpected collapse in the 1946-47 League title race has prompted an interesting reply from Donald Noble.

Memories Stirred By Latest Celtic Visit

Evan Williams is counting off the hours to Wolves' midweek clash at Celtic - after recalling a painful end to his trip to the same fixture more than 50 years ago.

One-Time Wanderer Withe Drops In

Peter Withe has used a trip back to England to sign many of the keepsakes of his all-too-brief Wolves career. The Australia-based former striker has this summer spent three weeks back in his home country before heading to New York for the wedding of one of his sons.

Thinker Burnside Did Things Differently

First it was Chris Waddle and Stuart Pearce in Turin in 1990. Then, a tentative Gareth Southgate inadvertently passed the audition at Wembley in 1996 for an embarrassing pizza advert. Fast forward to Paul Ince and David Batty in France '98, to Darius Vassell, a keeper called Ricardo and even David Beckham in Portugal in 2004, and finally to more of the same agonies against the same opponents two years later.
