Teams, Teams Everywhere
Massive Pool Of Players Was Central To Talent Development
I often tune into You Tube over here to watch Wolves’ under-21 games. There’s some significant talent there, with much more out and about on loan, of course.

No football team have met a reigning male head of the Commonwealth for over 70 years – and, in Wolves’ case, that time span has been extended by more than another decade.
