In Wolverhampton, people work hard for their money and football is a weekly release from normality, and the least that Wolves fans deserve are players that are desperate to play for the club and show that on the field.

Wolves have always been a club where players that show that attitude create a real affinity with the supporters but in some respects, the club has moved away from that in recent years.
