Wolves Video Of The Day – Citizen Richards

By: Toby | Comments 5 Comments

Bit of actual Wolves Business first off, Ebanks Blake won Championship Player of the year and Goal of the Season last night, with this Maradonaesque strike against Charlton. Wolves also won Family Club of The Year. Alas, we didn’t win Best Digital Communication, nor best Best Fan Marketing Campaign, a fact of which I am [...]

Wolves Video Of The Day – FA Cup Triumph, when the FA Cup meant something.

By: Toby | Comments No Comments

Off to 1949 now and to the golden age of Wolves, as we see Billy Wright lift the FA Cup in the Old Gold in a triumphant 3-1 display at a seemingly impossibly large Wembley. Wembley was like a second home to most of Wolves’ players at the time, with the likes of Wright, Johnny [...]

Wolves Video Of The Day – Time Travelling to 1904

By: Toby | Comments 5 Comments

Lovely little video here, if you don’t mind the baggie doing the voice over. It’s part of the Mitchell and Kenyon collection, a couple of men who went round the country documenting every day life on film. One day they decided to take in a game between Wolves and Preston North End. The game itself [...]

Wolves Video Of The Day – The Night Wolves Stunned Europe

By: Toby | Comments 6 Comments

I may as well state now that there won’t really be any chronological order to these videos, I didn’t really think it through enough when I thought up the whole idea for this last night, so off we go from the 80s to the 50s (quite a leap I know), where Wolves recorded one of [...]

Paul Birch 1962 -2009

By: Toby | Comments 2 Comments

In sadder news, the death of former Wolves and Villa player Paul Birch has understandably knocked a few of us for six, at just 46 Paul has lost his battle against cancer, the most vile and vindictive of illnesses. As a child I used to idolise the Wolves to the point where me and my [...]

Why have Wolves gone….a bit….wonky?

By: Toby | Comments 17 Comments

Well, what in flippin’ crikey has gone wrong at Wolves then? That’s the question on a lot of people’s lips right now, I’m going to go through it all a bit, have a little shuffle around, poke a few places and hopefully come up with an answer, it’s like a classic exercise in the essay, [...]

Safe hands.

By: Toby | Comments 2 Comments

My last player bio was about a player who I thought no longer thought wanted to be in the team or at the club in general. Today I’m writing about a completely different breed of player all together. There is nobody in the current squad who I’d rather see pull on the colours of Wolves [...]

Who is Dénes Rósa?

By: Toby | Comments 6 Comments

Indeed, the man’s a conundrum, a rubix cube of a player. He’s a mystery. Probably because he’s only played nine times in two years. If you’ve seen him play it’s probably been in the reserves. He’s the equivalent of a rare bird for a twitcher…you very rarely catch a glimpse and if you do, it’s [...]

He also played for Wolves against Burnley at [...]
