Fifty years ago this week, Wolves claimed the 1974 League Cup at Wembley Stadium, and Wednesday's Wolves Express is dedicated to the club's first time lifting the trophy.
In front of 97,000 fans inside the national stadium, Wolves claimed a 2-1 win over Manchester City to claim their first piece of major silverware in 14 years, and the match-winning hero that day, John Richards, features on the podcast where he discusses why the day was so special for him.
'King John' paid tribute to his teammates that day and reminisced about the game and the celebrations after, which he admits was one of the best days of not only his football career, but of his life.
There is also a link to the modern day, through current Old Gold midfielder Tommy Doyle, whose grandfathers Mike Doyle and Glyn Pardoe were part of the Man City side that day in 1974 and the number 20 talks about his pride of his family legacy, while also revealing his grandad Glyn was playing against the club he supported as a youngster.
Wolves' club historian Peter Crump also joins Wolves Express where he provides details about what the club will be doing at Saturday's Premier League game against Fulham to celebrate the 50th anniversary, where some of those players who are still with us will be taking to the pitch.
Released three times a week – every Monday, Wednesday and Friday – Wolves Express is packed with news, updates and exclusive interviews on both the playing and non-playing side of the club, complementing other offerings of Wolves Weekly and Matchday Live Extra.
