MEET THE PLAYERS 29th April 2005 London Wolves annual “Meet the Players” was held on 29th April at the team hotel for the Reading away match (what a great win).
Asked by Stef what he could say about the contract negotations, he spotted a water skiier and asked what on earth Kenny was up to. More pictures, including Kenny without his hat on, Glenn’s pro-zone quiz questions, and some of the other answers from Glenn are on the Meet the Players page in the members’ section (here). The players had come down from Wolverhampton to the warmest day of the year, brilliiant sunshine and a training day at England Headquarters at Bisham Abbey, well prepared for a great result at the Madejski on Saturday (won 1-2). Meet the Players evening - 26th March 2004 London Wolves were very grateful to the Club and to Dave Jones for allowing us an hour with the players before the Chelsea match on 27th March at a nearby hotel. On hand to greet us was Captain Paul Ince and several of the players. Then we were able to join them in a relaxing and informal area for drinks before DJ sent them to bed at 9ish. Already lined up as man of the season, Alex Rae was there, Sparky (Mark Kennedy), Vio Ganea, Lee Naylor and others. We talked with Vio about his family’s move. After an hour or so of general chat with the players, DJ and his main staff members kindly gave us an another hour to ask about anything we liked. The obvious question about “how much did you get/why couldn’t you buy the players you needed/....” were openly answered by Dave. He quoted his response to SJH’s question “how much would it cost to win the Premiership?” saying £70 million. Abramovich could have got it cheaper then with Dave as his manager. We were treated also to an in-depth review of the various injuries - especially to Matt and Joleon and George by the club doctor (DJ warned us not to ask!) This was a really enjoyable evening with some really nice genuine people. Players’ Evening - End of Season party- June Second, at the end of season party / Players’ evening in Wolverhampton following the Tottenham match, the true Wolves Player of the Season was presented with our award by Chairman Stuart Earl.... Alex Rae, also scorer of Wolves only Premiership Goal of the month, was serenaded with a chorus of “he’s got no hair but we don’t care, Alex, Alex Rae”. We wished Alex every success as he moves to Glasgow Rangers The entire Club was also overwhelmed by the outstanding buffet provided by Tracy and Ryan Nelson and Lynne and Alan (Nobby) Blount.
Also attending were real heroes of the 1974 League Cup final....Goalkeeper Gary Pierce, in for the injured Phil Parkes (then on £25 a week plus a fiver if he played and kept a clean sheet!) made so many excellent saves to be the real man of the match. And John McAlle, who made more appearances than any other player in the 73-74 season. If you haven’t bought the video do so! Stef Leonard auctioned three copies at the event. Two of the most popular members of London Wolves were recognised for their outstanding work for the club - Dave Slape and Peter Woodifield - who were presented with tankards. Here are Peter and Dave receiving their awards from John McAlle and Gary Pierce Also at the meeting were our outstanding goalie Phil Parkes (the real one) and Terry Wharton and Jean, his wife. Here’s London Wolves member Robert looking on on what must have been a cracker of a joke, before they posed, and Terry addressing the meeting with Stuart.
Annual General Meeting July 10th 2004 During the close season, the Club’s AGM was held a the Pied Bull in Streatham SW 16 on July 10th. A report (draft minutes) appears in the Members’ Only Zone. Our guest of honour was Frank Munro, Wolves legend of the seventies, and his wife Naomi. Frank starred in defence for Wolves with 365+6 appearances and 19 goals. He is quoted in the excellent Peter Lansley’s book “Running with Wolves”, recently published and available from the Wolves shop, as saying that Leeds’ Billy Bremner offered him a bribe of “five grand to give away a penalty”. Wolves won the match 2-1 preventing Leeds from winning the League Championship, which went to Brian Clough’s Derby County. Frank is pictured here with Naomi and Stoo, while Stef somehow got into the second picture....

The Club members decided at the AGM to sponsor Lee Naylor for 2005-6. Cliff also reminded us about the Goalden gate weekly draw which has already been won by a London Wolves member and so far has put £1,000 back into WWLSC.

Guy Thomas was elected specifically to represent the members travelling on Club trips. Two nominations were received for the Chairman position, and Stuart Earl was re-elected. More in the members’ section here
Prior to the Chairman’s address Stuart drew Phil O’Connor’s name out of the hat for the Match of My Life - England World Cup book. Rob Goddard and George Sinagra were the only other all correct entries from WWLSC. Stuart, after reading out apologies, passed around the London Wolves trademark certificate which was granted earlier in the year. It was recorded Secretary: Dave Slape reported that we have currently 248 members on the books and reported on the promotional item sales. The 40th badges should be available at The Valley. Cliff Egan added to Dave’s report about the revenue generated by the Goalden Gate draw - £508 last year and reminded members to sign up. Travel: Peter Woodifield was still on vacation but sent in his report. The Virgin service has improved but the remote bookings service is still causing difficulties The only delayed trip was to Norwich where the train was cancelled and a refund has been gained. The club is still owed £175 by ex-members. Peter also asked that if a member can’t make a trip that Top attendances were Preston (50) and Hull (48) at home and Sheffield (37) and Hull away. No details are yet available on fares for next season. We have 7 season tickets and 2 away seasons bought on the Early Bird scheme. Peter thanked Dave, Guy, Maurice and Pam in the WWFC ticket office; the AGM thanked Peter for all his hard work Treasurer’s Report
Election of Officers. Sadly David Hodges has decided to resign from the Committee. Stuart proposed that he was not replaced as Rob Goddard was seconded on earlier in the year. The Committee was re-elected. Membership Fee unchanged
Membership communication. Members will receive a package shortly asking whether they want a printed magazine or to view it on the internet. (We don’t have email addresses for around 100 members). Not replying will be taken as asking for Internet only). Also included will be Goalden Gate enrolment forms. We also have the opportunity to run our own Fantasy League. Anyone interested in participating please email me here. Probably £10 - winner takes half the pot. We’ll also ask this question in the member communication. Entertainments - John Engleman - 40th Dinner Dance.
There should be the opportunity to buy copies of Ernie Hunt’s book and the Match of My Life - Wolves (featuring John Richards, Mike Bailey, Bully and others). The meal should finish around 9:15pm when the raffles will take place. As well as the players, Richard Collins, a Director of Charlton Athletic will be joining us. Dave Dungar from Chaucer Group, Wolves main sponsors, Thanks were given to sponsors of the event - Roy Eagles, John Engleman, Dave Slape, Dave Hodges, and Roy Bowdler as well as Tower Press and Digiprinters. There wil be a river boat trip with the Players from Greenwich Pier to Charing X or Westminster on the Sunday morning. Details will be given out at the dinner. Cliff Egan: Cliff is Wolves’ representative to WWLSC and will be attending the 40th Dinner together with Stuart Cain, Wolves’ Director of Marketing & Communications. Cliff had spoken to Jez Moxey en route who asked that his best wishes were passed on to London Wolves. He said thank you for the fans who make the effort to support Wolves home and away - and for their friendship to the Club. Cliff emphasised the £500 gain to London Wolves from the Goalden Gate draw (£4.33 a month(?)) and Roy emphasised the benefits of winning! A question was asked about the make up of the Wolves Parliament. (Details of members and David Instone’s notes of the first meeting are on our site here. Wolves are very keen to extend fan dialogues and this is an important part of that. The membership was by nomination (or self nomination) and the membership was then selected independently of Wolves. If you have issues to be raised you can take it up with any member (eg Chris Cox of Daventry). Cliff repeated Jez’s comments about the rumours of Milan Mandaric taking over the Club, and reminded us that SJH had written off £38m in loans so that any takeover by a committed well financed fan could happen. Another question about the manager appointment revealed that about 12 of the many candidates were serious possibilities but they were working on this every day. Paul Ince is certainly in the frame but Jez is also trying to get his player contract sorted, and that is a separate matter. (Paul has has the opportunity to put his views on what needs dping to Rick Hayward (see Garry’s News)) Jez is also stressing the culture change at the Club and that the Youth and Academy set up look good for the future. There are cutbacks on both sides of the Club but they were needed.

AGM 15th July 2006
The players all seemed up for the match and they all applauded warmly as their choice of Players’ Player of the Season was also awarded WWLSC Player of the Season for the second time - Joleon Lescott. Lee Naylor, runner up, said “My award was bigger and it’s still on my wall”. 
Glenn Hoddle had kindly agreed to continue this tradition and spent 45 minutes asking us questions before fielding the obvious one (amongst others) himself. 
Several important decisions were taken, and Cliff Egan brought us up to date on goings on at Molineux. 
W
WLSC sponsored Shaun Newton before his departure to West Ham and ultimately the Premiership, so we swapped to newcomer Rohan Ricketts for the second part of the season, and Cliff brought his shirt to be auctioned at the AGM. The winner of the auction was Alan to celebrate Angie’s birthday. She also won one of the two 2004-5 Season review DVDs raffled on the day, while the website competition for the DVD was won by non member Michal Sznerch of Tychy in Poland with 9 correct answers (here) and there was a tie between Phil and Rob G for the member’s prize, won in the penalty shoot out (drawn in Welsh by Roy) by Rob. Thanks to OLC Sport for the sponsorship.
Also decided was a resolution to appoint Steve Bull as an honorary life member 
Around 20 members again enjoyed the hospitality of the Brockley Social Club for the London Wolves AGM when once again Cliff Egan was our guest of honour. Cliff concluded the meeting by talking about the many things going on at Molineux and sending Jez Moxey’s best wishes. 
that Barry Baker had given WWLSC the limited company London Wolves Ltd as well as the trademark, a gesture which was much appreciated and cost him a lot of money.
Newsletter. Christmas and end of season issues were published as per the members’ wishes at last year’s AGM. Interim e-newsletters were also sent (mailed to members without internet access). Since some members had requested more the whole membership will be asked what they want. (see communication)

However, the year had been a good one otherwise, and compliments are still coming in about the 40th Anniversary Dinner in July last year. The football performance had also been a big lift from the previous three years. Stuart again thanked especially Peter Woodifield and Dave Slape for all their work during the year. Apologies were received from several members and committee members.
