If you want to buy a copy mention on the order form that you’re from London Wolves – telephone order at 07734 440 095 or http://www.thomaspublications.co.uk/booksx.asp?club=Wolves&ID=25 As a taster – here are just two of Jim’s 20 hot controversies (from http://www.junkarchive.co.uk/wordpress/?p=2333)

Peter Knowles Quits Football
The one-time play-boy stunned Wolves when he retired in favour of being a Jehovah’s Witness. The brilliant England under-23 inside-forward was tipped to make the 1970 World Cup squad but played his last match just before his 24th birthday in a draw with Nottingham Forest. Even a protest led by a posse of fit girls couldn’t produce a change of mind, Knowles’s extrovert image having been underpinned when he kicked the ball out of the Portsmouth ground to celebrate a goal – and was promptly sent the bill. Billy Bragg later immortalised him in a song God’s Footballer.

Doog Banned
Following two early-season dismissals in 1969, at Sheffield Wednesday and at home to Everton, Derek Dougan was given what felt like an unprecedented eight-week ban by the FA. His case was not helped as the second of the sendings-off, meted out by Maidstone referee Keith Walker against the high-flying Merseysiders, was for swearing at a linesman and sparked a mini-riot on the North Bank. It seemed like the end of our world.

Sir Edward Elgar is said to be Wolves’ earliest celebrity fan.  Recently Wolves chaplain and St Peters Collegiate staged a concert to remember the composer.   They also recreated what is the first ever football anthem  “He Banged the Leather for Goal” born out of a newspaper report on a 1898 match featuring Billy Malpass.

Philosophy football shirts have produced a great t-shirt to celebrate this - with Elgar’s words - and music as it was written
