The 2007-8 winner Wayne Hennessey was presented with his trophy at our Meet the Players event on Friday 28th March before the last London game of the season. Chairman Earl performed the presentation - citing Wayne’s amazing 17 clean sheets already.

or 2 006-7 our winner of the player of the season trophy was Matt Murray, goalkeeper extraordinaire and responsible for getting us to the playoffs with astonishing match winning and saving saves. Peter Woodifield, Trevor and Callum Reed present Matt with the trophy at the first home game of the season. Matt had a bad shoulder injury the day before the first leg of the play off finals in May 2007 against WBA, giving Wayne Hennessey his League debut with Wolves, but Matt has looked to recover well over the summer break.
BBC Midlands Tonight interviewed Matt Murray on Valentines Day report here and Matt’s trophy cabinet featured his London Wolves award presented by Callum Trevor & Peter W


London Wolves 2005-6 Player of the Season is again Joleon Lescott, one of only two players to win the award three times. Unfortunately, we were soon to learn that the club had sold “the best defender in the Championship” to Premiership Everton for around £4.5million (installments over 2 years +). Our very best wishes go to Joleon as he makes the step up. He missed Wolves entire season in the Premiership with knee injuries.

Congratulations to Alex Rae our 2003-4 winner on winning a Scottish SPL Championship with a last day victory over Hibs and with Celtic surprisingly beaten by Motherwell. Rangers won by one point. 22May05. Alex photo.
At the London Wolves Meet the Players evening on 29th April 2005 Chairman Stuart Earl presented our choice of Player of the Season with his trophy. Joleon, winner in he promotion season again edged out 2000-1 winner Lee Naylor, generally also agreed to be most improved player of the season. Lee says he still has the trophy on his wall. Joleon also said that it was very special to have been presented with the Players’ Player of the Season at the tribute dinner to Sir Jack two nights earlier.

For the Premiership season 2003-4 our choice was Alex Rae, seen here being presented with his trophy by Chairman Stoo. London Wolves wish Alex every success at his 2004-5 club, Glasgow Rangers. We’re delighted to congratulate him on his Champions Medal as Rangers take the Scottish Premier League championship from Celtic on the last day of the season.
Alex, season top scorer with 8 league and cup goals, kept our hopes alive of staying in the Premiership long beyond the pundits’ predictions, and indeed in the FA Cup when Kiddy nearly took us out, and while Camara, controversially awarded the club’s own award before deciding he didn’t want to stay, was missing opportunity after opportunity. Alex won the Premiership Goal of the Month award too, for his stunning shot against Bolton which gave Wolves our first ever away Premiership point in a 1-1 draw..

One of the players missed most of all during the premiership season was centre back Joleon Lescott who won our Player of the Year award for the promotion season. Here he is at Molineux receiving his award from Dave Bracher, Dave Slape and Jack Sammuels.
and here is Ludovic Pollet receiving his award for 1999-2000 from Bob Richards, Dave Bracher and Peter Davies in 2000.
and in 1998-9 it was Kevin Muscat
Special thanks to Peter Abbott for the presentation photos from the 80s. Peter’s in most of the photos.

* In 2004-5 the divisions were renamed Premiership, Championship, 1st and 2nd Divisions.
**The 1st division became the Premier league at the end of the 1992-93 season - the 2nd, 3rd and 4th divisions were re-named the 1st, 2nd and 3rd divisions respectively.
and, if the award had been made, the 1967-68 candidate would almost certainly have been The Doog
