Intro
London Wolves are historically one of Wolverhampton Wanderers most famous supporters clubs, and an exemplary role model for many clubs which formed since 1966.
Members were mostly teenagers in 1966/67, travelling by coach and train to home and away matches, following Wolves around the country in the old Second Division.
Wolves Secretary Jack Howley recognised their dedication. Allowing free admission, allocating a corner of the old North Bank where members jumped in, to much applause.
In those early days, entry was through the old Waterloo Road Stand, out of the tunnel, and around the pitch to the North Bank. A gesture fondly remembered to this day.
Fifty odd years later, little has changed. Original members follow Wolves together, as they always have done. All a bit older now, season ticket holders, seated at Molineux.
As London Wolves move into the 2020s, London and South-East based Wolves fans are encouraged to get in touch, and join this friendly, active club following the Old Gold.

History
London Wolves : A few facts and figures about 50+ years of loyal support from London and South-East.
London Wolves were the first supporters club to be officially associated with Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.
Founded by Stuart Earl in 1966, it grew to be one of the largest independent supporters groups, and has remained a closely knit club with many original members.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the club had around 400 members, and took a record booking of 108 fans for the 1981 FA Cup semi final against Spurs at Hillsborough.
London Wolves were officially founded on the day they ran their first ever coach to Molineux for the Plymouth Argyle match on 22nd October 1966.
Exactly 50 years later, with original members present, the club celebrated their 50th Anniversary around the home match with Leeds United on 22nd October 2016.
London Wolves became an Official Branch of the new Worldwide Wolves Supporters Club at Molineux in October 2018, and were allocated Branch Number 001.
