England Star On His ‘Nightmare’ Wolves Experience
“On the very first morning, I half-regretted it and thought: ‘Sh*t, what have I done?'” Darren Anderton and Wolverhampton Wanderers were not a match made in heaven. The marriage between the two parties lasted only a season and, for the former Portsmouth, Tottenham and England midfielder, that was at least three-quarters of a season too long.
