Jacksonville was the next stop on Wolves’ pre-season tour of the United States over the weekend and plenty was packed into the fleeting trip.
Arriving in the north of Florida on Friday afternoon, Hugo Bueno, Tommy Doyle, Pablo Sarabia and Jorgen Strand Larsen instantly met with supporters who’d travelled to greet them.
The players were given a warm welcome, answered supporter questions, posed for photographs and signed autographs for 45 minutes at their Jacksonville hotel, with head coach Gary O’Neil also dropping by.
Many of those supporters then headed to Culhane’s Irish Pub for a pre-match celebration with West Ham United fans. Old Gold legend Steve Bull was joined by Jack Collison and Anton Ferdinand on West Ham, answering questions on stage and posing for photographs, before the party continued.
Saturday was matchday, so the players spent the daytime relaxing and preparing for the initial 7pm kick-off at the EverBank Stadium.
