John Richards has engaged the help of trusted allies to help him quietly acknowledge the 50th anniversary of a significant landmark in his life.

Brazier On The Buzz Of Old Boys' Network

Wolves' Part In Others' Last-Day Nail-Biters

Last-afternoon dramas have come thick and fast in Wolves' history - and Sunday's trip to Liverpool could provide another. We have come up with 11 final-day cliff-hangers here but, by way of a change, chosen ones that have been much more important to the opposition than to Wolves, like the clash at Anfield in four days' time.

Wembley Winner On Mercy Mission

John Richards has carried out his promise to help replace a valued keepsake lost by a Texas-based Wolves fan in flooding at his house.
