For a wilderness generation who has to take their parents’ word for it, Wolves weren’t put on the footballing map to make up the numbers. Aside from a dogeared ticket stub from a 4th round replay in 1995, I’d only had evidence to the contrary, where Molineux would echo to the shrills of the players on […]
