We are Wolves. Progressive, determined, bright, unified and humble. A pack that is hungry for

one of the richest histories in the beautiful game.
Formed in 1877, Wolves was a founder member of the Football League, and was one of the

country's most successful sides in the fifties and sixties. During a two decade spell the Black

Country's most decorated side won three First Division titles and one of its four FA Cups.

Fast forward 70 years and Wolves are back amongst football's elite. In the past six years we have
celebrated promotion to the Premier League, back-to-back 7th placed finishes and a Europa League
