New Inductees Chosen And Soon To Be Announced

Wolves supporters will start to learn over the next week or two of the latest inductees to Molineux's impressive hall of fame. The names of the chosen men will initially be revealed in the Express & Star and on this website ahead of the induction dinner at the end of next month.

Observation Time Before Tense Run-In

Molineux regulars picking themselves up after Saturday's defeat against Leeds will have their own thoughts on the relegation scrap but here are three for starters - and we are not talking VAR for now! Everton are reviving without Conor Coady in their side, Wayne Hennessey seems as close to starting duty with Wales as at Nottingham Forest and Wolves probably look more dangerous on the road in the eyes of their rivals in the Premier League's lower reaches.

Precious Catch-Up In The Border Country

There are some football friends you don't see for years but with whom you quickly pick up from the last meeting. It was in November, 2016, that our path had last crossed that of Paul Cook - on the occasion of the Friday-night Molineux dinner to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Steve Bull's arrival at Wolves.

New Trend Had A Slow Start

A look in the record books confirms Freddie Goodwin as the first Wolves player ever to be sent on as a substitute in a League game. But who was the first man selected to fulfill the 12th man duties for the club in a competitive fixture?Goodwin entered the fray from the bench in the home win over Middlesbrough on October 16, 1965, a couple of months after the authorities had approved the use of a replacement if a player was injured.
