Growing Their Own
A Wolves Insight Into Youth Development
When Wolves underlined their supremacy over today’s opponents Nottingham Forest in the 1976-77 title-winning season at this level, they did so with a side more than 50 per cent made up of home-grown lads. Geoff Palmer, Steve Daley, John McAlle, John Richards, Alan Sunderland and Martin Patching all joined the club straight from school and played in a 2-1 win on February 5 that completed the double against the East Midlanders.
