But Les Was Not For Moving

Wolves v Villa is coming up in the first half of January - and that will rekindle thoughts for Les Wilson on how he might have made the switch across the West Midlands more than four and a half decades ago.

Festive Pile-Up With A 'Seems Like Only Yesterday' Theme

So we think Christmas and the New Year is a busy period on the football calendar? Look back a few decades to see how much more hectic it used to be. There was a time when Wolves would have had the chance to build on their exciting Boxing Day win over Bristol City by playing again within 24 hours.

Fitting Tribute To 'Warrior' Who Is An Inspiration To Us All

News From Afar Of Keeper's Passing-Away

Dave Maclaren, like many Scots, loved his golf. He also knew how to 'work' a dressing room and was not afraid of holding court in the interests of team morale. But the man who served Wolves as a goalkeeper and coach in the 1960s did not cling to his many football friends.

Amazing Back Story To Big Cup Tie

Martin Patching has provided an interesting past-and-present slant on Kenny Jackett while also revealing the extraordinary story behind his own contribution to Watford's FA Cup fifth-round romp at Molineux three and a half decades ago.

Revelations From The Man Who Gave It All Up For Religion

Never before have Wolves fans had the chance to hear such candid views from Peter Knowles as they do in the wonderful new dvd which should adorn many a supporter's stocking this Christmas.
