Dream Calling For Alex

Midfielder Back To Where It All Began

Alex Rae is relishing having another opportunity with the club he supported in boyhood and then played for following his departure from Molineux in 2004. The hugely popular driving force of Wolves’ first Premier League team has been retained as part of new Rangers boss Philippe Clement’s coaching team and is hoping to secure a long-term future at the club.

Fondly Remembered: Terry Springthorpe

Cup Winner Who Became A USA International

We frequently talk about teams peaking at the right time to deliver winning performances in games of massive importance. But Terry Springthorpe is an example of an individual who came to the boil at the perfect time for his Molineux career and then went on ‘simmer’ very soon afterwards.

Relishing The Latest Challenge

Vince Busy Once More – And Set For An ‘Old Pals’ Meeting

Vince Bartram is counting down the days to a reunion on the touchline with Paul Cook as he continues to thrive in his new role with National League club Eastleigh. It is a year next week since the 55-year-old was made redundant by relegated Southampton following 12 and a half seasons’ service there but life is busy once more with not one but two jobs.

Their Country Needed Them

International Connections Of Wolves Group

With England tonight playing their final competitive game before next summer’s European Championships finals in Germany, we turn the spotlight on some Molineux-related international morsels – and a snippet of geographical interest. The Group C winners are in Skopje for the return meeting with North Macedonia but Wolves players of a certain age will remember the host city as being one of their ports of call on a post-season tour in 1970 when the territory was known as Yugoslavia.

Steve Daley – Be Proud And Take A Bow

‘Fabulous Guy With An Exceptionally Big Heart’

If Geoff Palmer could have his time over again, he probably wouldn’t take advice from Steve Daley over what to do after being dropped – and he definitely wouldn’t go out for a sneaky drink with him. Phil Parkes discovered the risks of socialising with the midfielder, too, and the young Mel Eves knew better than to take him on in any verbal jousting.

Hardly Playing – But Still Winning

European Ties Keeping Minds Focused

Mike Stowell’s professional reunion with Robbie Keane continues to be a successful one, albeit also problematic and highly unusual. Their club, Maccabi Tel Aviv, remain locked in a challenging and depressing break in league fixtures and are clinging to their progress in the Europa Conference League as a token grip on normality.

Still Loving Our New Autumn Look

Exciting Impact Of Our Inspired Signing

Food For Thought From The Ages

1966, Sir Bobby And All That

Monday’s funeral for Bobby Charlton is giving the Wolves ‘family’ good reason to count their blessings. The recent death of one of England’s finest ever footballers means Geoff Hurst is now the only survivor from the side who famously won the World Cup on July 30 the small matter of 57 years ago.

Torn Between Two Sports

Talented Lads For Whom Football Wasn’t The Be-All-And-End-All

Birmingham’s Sports Argus for July 17, 1965 informed us that Wolves had attracted some exciting new
names. They included England schoolboy international Alun Evans (although they had an ‘a’ for a ‘u’ in his
first name) and Lancashire schoolboy John McAlle (they really butchered that one and had the legendary ‘Scouse’ down as Ian McCall).

Star Names – Might They Have Been Taylor Targets?

Food For Thought From The Pages Of History

Tony Daley, Steve Froggatt and Neil Emblen soon became the bedrock of Graham Taylor’s planned promotion strategy at Wolves. Later, when more cracks appeared and spending money was still plentiful, in too came John de Wolf, Don Goodman, Dean Richards and others.
