  • We discuss some of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club's history in this video. We begin with the club's location, home ground, and founding story. We then discuss the club's nicknames, crest, and important events. And we close with discussing noteworthy players, managers, and stats/records.
    The video is not all-encompassing but it hopefully provides some interesting information about Wolverhampton Wanderers FC.

    Really good talk. Just to point out Wolves won their first 'major' trophy in 1893 the Fa cup against Everton. As a kid growing up in the sixties matches against Stoke was a big rivalry. A Staffordshire derby as they called it at the time. Don't forget West Bromwich was also part of Staffordshire in those days as was Wolves before the boundary changes in 1974. While games against our Black country neighbours WBA are our traditionally biggest rivals theer has always been a big rivalry with Aston Villa. They are known locally as the big eds from Brum. Even in the seveeties they were big games and after Man Utd and Liverpool ,Villa always took the most away fans to Molineux not the baggies or the blue noses.

      @@TheSoccerTavern No problem. Your depth of research was amazing and you were spot on with most everything. One minor detail is that Stan Cullis had the apprentices (including a young Ron Atkinson who later went on to manage Manchester United and Villa amongst others) water the pitch before the game as well as at half time as he wanted to nullify Honved's slick passing game. As I said, great video and I have subscribed. Keep up the good work!

    Great Channel although I do have a major bias as a Wolves fan myself! I can tell you my Father first started watching Wolves in the final playing season of Stan Cullis' career 1946-47 and has followed them ever since, although not much lately due to not being too good on his feet in his 88th year. I believe you didn't have too much info on the Wolves rivalry with Stoke City? This rivalry was geographically based on both teams being the biggest cities and manufacturing areas in the county of Staffordshire (Wolverhampton is now in the West Midlands but until 1974 was in Staffordshire) and they were statistically the two top football teams in this area, although it should be noted that Staffordshire does not have an abundance of top tier football teams. With regards to Aston Villa as rivals, this was again due to locality but also in the 50s games in the english top-flight were played on a Christmas Day and Boxing Day (the day after Christmas) - Wolves would play Aston Villa on Christmas Day and again on Boxing day with them being at home then away the next day, this practise of playing on Christmas Day finished in around 1959.

    Very interesting report, there was a rivalry with Stoke (The Clayheads) because Wolverhampton and Stoke were both Staffordshire clubs. Boundaries changed and Wolves became a West Midland side. Nowadays the rivalry with the Vile is because for a while there were no midland opponents, BUT!! with the Tesco lot back in the prem for 3 seasons - Autumn, Winter and Spring old rivalries have been restored.

    Also Wolves scored the first ever goal in professional football. We also were the first football club to play an international, beating South Africa. We had the first player in the world, play for his country 100 times and never receive one yellow card.

      I don't know to be fair. All I know is that ever since I've been going to Molineux (about 17 years), we've been in the same division as Blues, as we call them, many times. Due to the close proximity and also the number of times we've played them in recent times, I'd put them 2nd behind Albion as rivals. As the song goes.. "shiiiiiiiiiiit on the brummies, shit on the brummies tonight ooh ahh ahh!" etc

    A good summary in the time allowed and you can be excused for missing a few things out as you would have needed an hour or two to cover all the achievements of Wolves.
    Aston Villa vs Wolves is the oldest league football derby in the World as the two teams met on the very first day of the very first league season in 1888. Preston North End won that first league with Villa second and Wolves third. Preston also beat Wolves in the final of that season's FA cup to become the first ever team to do the league and cup double.
