A sign that the season is almost upon us was evident at Molineux this morning as the coaching and playing staff assembled for the annual photo shoot.

  The team gathering will be used in magazines, newspapers, programmes and on television throughout the coming campaign.

  The club's official photographers Action Images were on hand to organise the event which isn't quite as simple as it may appear.

  The importance of balancing the shot is paramount and so the height of the players has to be taken into consideration as does the different coloured strips of the goalkeepers and coaching staff.

  The line up for Wolves 2005/6 is:

  Back row left to right: Mark James (masseur), Steve Kemp (physio), Patrick Flynn, Lewis Gobern, Mark Little, Conor Rafferty, Martin Riley, Keith Lowe, Kevin O'Connor, Chris Cornes, Mark Kennedy, Alex Butler (masseur), Barry Holmes (physio).

  Middle row left to right: Gabor Gyepes, Seyi George Olofinjana, Jody Craddock, Carl Cort, Carl Ikeme, Paul Jones, Michael Oakes, Matt Murray, Joleon Lescott, Leon Clarke, George Ndah, Rob Edwards, Bobby Mimms (goalkeeping coach).

  Front row left to right: Kunle Odetoyinbo (fitness coach), Terry Connor (coach), Jackie McNamara, Kenny Miller, Colin Cameron, Rohan Ricketts, Mark Davies, Glenn Hoddle (manager), Paul Ince, Vio Ganea, Seol, Lee Naylor, Mark Clyde, Stuart Gray (assistant manager), Carl Hoddle (coach/scout).
