When Football Was Football: Wolves: A Nostalgic Look at a Century of the Club

by David Instone (Author)

Synopsis

Few clubs lend themselves better to a magnificent collection of photographs than Wolverhampton Wanderers. As three-time League champions and four-time winners of the FA Cup, not to mention pioneers of European football, their place in the Daily Mirror's extensive archive is secure. The majority of these superb photos are previously unpublished and are used to document the highs - and one spectacular 1980s low - of Molineux life. Billy Wright, Stan Cullis, Ron Flowers, Bill Slater, Bert Williams, Derek Dougan, John Richards, Steve Bull - the list of golden heroes is a long one. This publication celebrates not only their wonderful deeds but also the personalities and priceless anecdotes - When Football Was Football!

Author Bio
David Instone has written eight previous books about Wolverhampton Wanderers, including Wolves In Pictures and Billy & Bully, and contributed to several others. Contrary to popular opinion, he is too young to have witnessed the club's 1950s glory years but has been a regular in the Molineux press box since 1986 and lives with his wife Liz half an hour's drive away in Shropshire. He also runs, along with club legend John Richards, a highly popular nostalgia website called www.wolvesheroes.com
