Unitt’s Road From Wolves To England
Rachel Unitt’s first competitive experience as a young footballer was to play for Birchills Ramblers in a league which featured only three different teams. Last night she was planning to be at a packed Old Trafford to see England’s ladies kick off their European...
Hayward’s Murray Mission
There was a time when hearing the name ‘Wimbledon’ would have had Phil Hayward thinking that Wolves were in line for a potentially tricky cup tie against a team from the lower divisions. Not anymore. Wolves’ highly respected former head of medical services is now...
The American Flyer!
There aren’t too many like Marcus Hahnemann. I mean, goalkeepers are supposed to be lively and a tiny bit eccentric, aren’t they? Hahnemann, though. The hugely affable American takes that to a whole new level. The former Wolves gloveman celebrated his...
From Wolves To United
Mention the name Daniel Nardiello, and there is a nod of familiarity among a certain generation of the Wolves fanbase. Nardiello enjoyed a very successful career. Almost 400 appearances, yielding 128 goals. Four promotions, three senior international caps with Wales....
Dougherty’s American Dream
It is 40 years since a young wide-eyed 16-year-old signed apprentice forms at Wolves at the start of a footballing journey which he could never have predicted. Eventually Paul Dougherty became one of the many to make the move from Molineux to go and play in...

Cameron’s Molineux Pride
Colin Cameron was the half time guest as Wolves rounded off their home Premier League season against Norwich last weekend. And the rousing reception he received on taking to the pitch and the response from supporters elsewhere on the day provided far happier memories...
Remembering Nigel Pearson
Nigel Pearson will be laid to rest this Thursday in his adopted village of Wombourne following his sudden and dreadfully sad recent passing. His funeral cortege will take in a lap of Wombourne including the Cricket Club where he spent so much happy time before a...
Simmo’s Seeking Success
When former Wolves and Manchester City winger Paul Simpson was diagnosed with kidney cancer last summer, he went into isolation for two-and-a-half weeks prior to undergoing surgery. At the time he was assistant head coach at Bristol City, whose players certainly did...
Strikers’ Chelsea Memories
Billy Rafferty and Tommy Langley didn’t spend the greatest amount of time at Wolves. You won’t find either of them near the top of any Molineux goalscoring charts, or being talked about for the club’s Hall of Fame. But when it comes to fixtures involving Wolves and...
