Wolves: The Glory Years - SOLD OUT £16.99 + pp Three League Championships, two FA Cups, FA Youth Cup heroics, several other near misses and a record to be proud of in ground-breaking floodlit matches against Europe’s finest... Wolverhampton Wanderers were truly a class act half a century ago. They were right up there alongside Manchester United and, for several memorable years, eclipsed them as they thrilled audiences at home and abroad with their zest for goals from fast, direct attacking. Wolves: The Glory Years, a £16.99 hardback by David Instone, is a season-by-season account of the club’s rise to greatness, enriched by a host of interviews with the stars of the day, such as Bert Williams, Malcolm Finlayson, Eddie Stuart, Bill Shorthouse, Bill Slater, Ron Flowers, Norman Deeley, Roy Swinbourne, Dennis Wilshaw, Jimmy Dunn, Sammy Smyth, Barry Stobart, George Showell and Ted Farmer. This is the story, backed by around 180 superb, little-seen photographs, of how they and many others made Wolves the team to fear under Stan Cullis in the 1950s. More than 260 supporters took advantage of the chance, for no extra cost, to have their name or that of a friend or family member included in the scroll of honour at the back.
