Wolverhampton Wanderers have a good record in the FA Cup. They’ve won the famous old tournament four times, which may not sound like much to younger ears, but is in fact not bad going at all. Only 12 clubs in history have done any better, and one of those, which Football Daily has decided not to name for fear of muddying the water, doesn’t exist any more. Oh all right, it’s five-time-winning London-based posho collective Wanderers, dissolved 1887. Having said that, Wanderers (see?) – by which we mean Wolves – haven’t added to their haul since 1960, when they beat Blackburn 3-0 in the Wembley final and were pelted with match programmes and apple cores by Rovers fans for their trouble, and … well, No 5 and a more dignified celebration is well overdue for a club of their size.
