The Bully Years £8.99 + pp No man did more than Steve Bull to inspire Wolverhampton Wanderers away from the threat of extinction in the mid-1980s than Steve Bull. The former Tipton Town striker, recruited for a pittance from Wolves’ deadliest rivals, scored more than 50 goals in each of his first two Molineux seasons and was dubbed the backstreet international when netting on his England debut at the end of the second of them. It was a phenomenal rise that left all Wanderers fans bursting with pride as their hero represented his country at the 1990 World Cup finals in Italy. Bully didn’t hang around in overtaking John Richards as the highest goalscorer in the club’s history but stayed loyal to the cause by shunning several approaches from top-flight clubs in England and beyond. The Bully Years (£8.99), by David Instone, tells the story of this Molineux legend, with a goal-by-goal walk through his record-breaking career. No Wolves fan should want to be without a souvenir of his sensational deeds  Order now
