A Foot In Both Camps

Wolves Men Who Shone At The Villa

Many of us will be aware of the substantial crossover of players between Wolves and Saturday’s derby opponents Villa. But we might easily have overlooked how large a part several men have played in the claret and blue story before or after serving at Molineux.

Adding To The Medal Collection

Handover Puts More Treasures In Public Domain

Wolves’ magnificent museum now contains a 1958 FA Youth Cup winners’ medal and 1960 Charity Shield medal for the first time – thanks to the family of Johnny Kirkham and the role of this website as go-betweens. We reported several weeks ago that we had taken delivery of various keepsakes from the Wednesbury-born wing-half’s career.

One For The Cameras!

Exclusive Glimpse Of Wolves On Tour

It’s not often on Wolves Heroes that we make the unearthing of a new photo or two the primary reason for posting a story. But a couple of well-hidden gems have come to light in recent weeks, so it would have been a shame not to share them with our loyal readers.

It’s An Honour!

JR On His Surprise At ‘Freedom’ Award

John Richards and Denis Law have more in common than having shared the Wembley pitch on League Cup final day in 1974. They were both also serial goalscorers, one for various teams at home and abroad, the other essentially as a one-club man.

Keepers Galore – Was It Worth The Bother?

Well…..Can You Remember These Frustrated Bench-Warmers?

It seems that Tom King is perfectly content with his lot. He has been at Molineux since July, 2023, has yet to make a first-team appearance (other than the odd friendly) and knows there is no regular reserve team spot for him. It’s all about the academy system these days, so, at best, he might be given a rare appearance as an over-age player. Above him in the pecking order at Wolves are Jose Sa, Sam Johnstone and Dan Bentley. Yet King signed a new two-year contract in February.

Remember Andreas?

Anfield Hero Back On Wolves’ Radar

Eight years ago at Anfield, Andreas Weimann scored a terrific goal to help beat Liverpool and take Wolves into the fifth round of the FA Cup. On Saturday, he struck the winner that sets up the first Blackburn-Wolves meeting in the competition since the 1960 final at Wembley.

Plotting An Escape From Danger

When Life In The Dug-Out Becomes A Struggle

These are trying times for a number of former Wolves men on whom we keep a close eye in their current off-field positions elsewhere. While Vitor Pereira continues to enjoy a successful start at Molineux, the week has brought the end for Rob Edwards at Luton and Julen Lopetegui at West Ham – and one or two others are in need of an upturn in results over or soon after FA Cup third-round weekend.

Mike Not Going Hungary

Keane Appointed But Door Remains Closed For Stowell

Robbie Keane’s appointment as manager of Hungarian champions Ferencvaros will not lead to another overseas posting for Mike Stowell. The Irishman’s unveiling as successor to Dutchman Pascal Jansen two days ago had raised hopes that the former Wolves duo might reunite in Budapest.

Crunching Those Numbers

Catch-Up Time With Flier Who Scorched More Than Just The Flanks

Tim Steele arrived early from a business meeting, sporting a warm smile. Well, he always was quick, VERY quick, and unfailingly cheerful. Our chat began with a familiar Wolves Heroes enquiry: “Have we bumped into each other anywhere else along the way or was it at Molineux in your playing days that we were last together?”

Dear Diary Entry 159

Third Time Unlucky!

Sunday, December 1: More disappointment for Stephen Ward, Richard Stearman and their colleagues at Solihull Moors as they were beaten at home this afternoon by Bromley in the FA Cup. The televised second-round tie offered the Midlanders the opportunity for some revenge after the sickening two Wembley defeats against these opponents over successive weekends in the spring.
