From church team to European elite: the definitive celebration of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC's greatest moments across nearly 150 years of Old Gold history.
Experience the passion, drama, and glory that have defined Wolves from 1877 to the present day. This comprehensive tribute chronicles the 100 greatest moments in Wolverhampton Wanderers history-from that founding meeting at St Luke's Church in Blakenhall to competing against Europe's finest under the Molineux floodlights.
Relive the Golden Era: Journey back to the 1950s when Stan Cullis's revolutionary Wolves dominated English football, claiming three league championships in six years. Witness the legendary floodlit victories over Honvéd, Real Madrid, and Dynamo Moscow that inspired the creation of the European Cup. Stand alongside Billy Wright as he becomes the first player to reach 100 England caps whilst captaining the champions of England.
Survive the Darkest Days: Feel the desperation of 1986 when Wolves dropped to the Fourth Division and faced extinction under the Bhatti brothers' disastrous ownership. Experience the remarkable resurrection led by Graham Turner and the arrival of a 65,000 signing from West Brom named Steve Bull, who would score 306 goals and become the club's greatest-ever player.
Celebrate the Modern Renaissance: Discover how Sir Jack Hayward's investment saved the club, leading to the new Molineux and years of rebuilding. Then witness the Fosun revolution of 2016 that brought Nuno EspÃrito Santo, Ruben Neves, and a return to European competition-establishing Wolves among the Premier League elite once more.
What's Inside:
- 20 comprehensive chapters covering every era from Victorian foundations to modern Premier League success

- Legendary players: Billy Wright, Stan Cullis, Derek Dougan, John Richards, Steve Bull, and modern heroes like Raúl Jiménez
- Historic matches: The Match of the Century vs Honvéd (1954), the Andy Gray diving header (1980), and Adama Traoré's masterclass vs Manchester City (2019)
