Wolverhampton Wanderers Club Profile

Wolverhampton Wanderers are undoubtedly one of the most famous clubs in England and their history is decorated with honours. The modern era at Molineux, however, isn’t particularly impressive by their standards and they have spent only one season in the top flight of English football since 1984.

The club was formed in 1877 and were founder members of the Football League, winning the FA Cup twice before the outbreak of World War I.

Stan Cullis was the manager who really put the boys from the Black Country on the map as he led them to the Division One (Premier League) title three times between 1949 and 1960 as well as claiming a further two FA Cups. They were also one of the trailblazers in European competitions and were referred to as “Champions of the World” by English newspapers after successful results against European opposition.

Although never recapturing the golden times of the Cullis era, Wolves have still had their moments and contested the first UEFA Cup Final in 1971 against Tottenham Hotspur. They also managed to win the League Cup twice, in 1974 against Manchester City, and in 1980 when Andy Gray’s goal famously beat champions of Europe Nottingham Forest 1-0 at Wembley.

As well as being one of the first teams to compete in Europe, Wolverhampton Wanderers were also part of the United Soccer Association in the summer of 1967. The league consisted of 12 clubs imported from Europe and South America to play in Canadian and America cities, with each club being given a localised brand.

Wolves were known as ‘Los Angeles Wolves’ and they won the Western Division before beating Eastern Division champions Aberdeen - who were known as the ‘Washington Whips’ - to win the Championship.

Wolves’ lowest point arguably came in 1986 when they were in the bottom tier of English football and they slipped to a 3-0 FA Cup defeat at non-league Chorley.

However, Graham Turner began the revival and led them to consecutive promotions and they have remained in the second tier ever since, apart from one year in the Premier League (2003-04) under Dave Jones.
