Slightly off kilter, but here’s a link to a story about Emilio Aldecoa, who became the first Spanish player to play professional football in England when he played for wolves in 1943. Wolves Basque Refugee: The Story of Emilio Aldecoa I came across it earlier. He had some interesting links...

Me and Ning in Krabi, Thailand. Met him the night before, and arranged to play football with the bar staff and fisherman on railay beach. 3 of the locals tipped up in Wolves shirts. No idea why they had them. Also once met a wolves fan in a tiny pub in Bratislava. Went out to watch England play...

If I walk out of Anfield on the final day, and we’ve finished 7th, I’d be very contented. Absolutely made up with the best season witnessed in my lifetime, and looking forward to going round Europe watching my team. If we won the FA cup, however, there’s a chance it could all go very wrong for...

Yep, Bully and Don Goodman (whose been present at the two best fa cup away days I've ever been to)... Don threw the smoke bomb and Bully went crowdsurfing ... and that song is in no way applicable to today.. I don't think any wolves fan 'woke up this morning feeling fine'..... I didn't, not...
