SPORT PIC DAVID HAMILTON PIC EXPRESS AND STAR PIC 28/4/2018 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS VS SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY, AT THE MOLINEUX. Wolves lift the Championship Trophy.

When headmaster Henry “Harry” Barcroft, and colleague Fergus Hill encouraged the pupils of St Luke’s School, Blakenhall, to start up a football team, few could have envisaged where it would lead. The team who took their first steps in 1877 became Wolverhampton Wanderers and achieved worldwide fame. Now Wolves are about to celebrate their 150th birthday and it’s time to look back

Wolves 150 Years consists of 150 chapters in the history of a magnificent club, the personal choices of STEVE GORDOS and CLIVE CORBETT, lifelong fans with a wealth of knowledge about Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Great games and great names have come and gone as Wolves have many times left their mark on football history and many familiar figures and events are recalled in the book, as well as many facts that may be new to fans. Here is a miscellany of memories, magical and miserable, managers and Molineux maestros. It provides ample proof of Wolves’ right to be among the game’s great names.
