Please feel free to send us any items you feel appropriate. Your feedback on a wide variety of www.wolvesheroes.com subjects is always welcome.

Grateful To Be Alive

The younger brother of former Wolves utility man Les Wilson is recovering at home in Vancouver after being badly hurt in an off-shore accident.
