Wolves FPA News and Updates
A Recent Rivalry
It is somewhat ironic, either side of last night’s visit of Fulham, that Wolves are otherwise locked in the middle of successive weekend assignments away at Bournemouth. Because, up until 40 years ago, they had only ever played each other twice. And both of...
Simkins…Meet The Simkins
Separated by almost 32 years. 11,630 days to be precise. And 116 miles in distance. But the two Wolves first team debuts of Darren Simkin and Lily Simkin have etched their respective names into Molineux folklore. The first father and daughter to represent...

John Richards To Be Awarded Freedom Of The City
John Richards, when arriving for his first day at Wolves as an 18-year-old, could barely have imagined that, some 56 years later, he would still be here. Or that during those intervening five-and-a-half decades, he would make 487 appearances for Wolves, score 194...
