PREMIER LEAGUE PERFORMANCE
Wolves' 3-0 victory over Sheffield United in the 2003 Division One play-off final earned Wanderers promotion to the Barclaycard Premiership. Having risen from Division Four in 1988 after sliding down the Football League in the 1980s, they looked poised to enjoy Premiership football throughout the 1990s but were denied consistently at the final hurdle. Sir Jack Hayward bought the club in 1990, intent on helping his hometown club to the pinnacle of English football. Off the pitch, Molineux was transformed and it once again took its place as one of football's premier venues in 1993 after a complete refurbishment. But the team could not earn the Premiership place their venue merited until Dave Jones led them to eventual play-off success in Cardiff. A decade of near misses, under the management of Graham Turner, former England manager Graham Taylor, Mark McGhee and Colin Lee culminated in 2002. Having occupied an automatic promotion place for much of the season, Wolves started dropping points at just the wrong time and ultimately lost out in the play-offs. The setback made their own ascendancy to the Barclaycard Premiership 12 months later, courtesy of a marvellous Millennium Stadium display, all the sweeter.
CLUB HISTORY
After their formation in 1877, the Wolves story has encompassed all the emotions football can provoke. One of the founder members of the Football League in 1888, they remained competitive in the top flight and won the FA Cup in 1893. Slipping out of Division One in 1906, another FA Cup win two years later provided some cheer although the midlanders found themselves playing in the third tier in 1923. Wanderers, however, made the first of their traditional returns from the brink and had positioned themselves on top of the tree by the 1950s. A third FA Cup triumph in 1949 and a fourth in 1960 bracketed an unprecedented era of success at Molineux, manager Stan Cullis leading the Old Gold to Football League championships in 1954, 1958 and 1959. A UEFA Cup final place - against Tottenham - in 1972 and League Cup wins in 1974 and 1980 consolidated the Black Country club as one of England's leading sides. However, Wolves hit a downward spiral in the mid-1980s, suffering relegation from Division One to Division Four - for the first time ever. Then, spurred on by legendary striker Steve Bull, Wolves were revived and playing Second Division football by 1989. Three times the play-offs promised to take Wolves into the Premiership only to deliver disappointment. Persistence paid off though and the renaissance was finally completed with a famous play-off final victory over Sheffield United at the Millennium Stadium in May 2003.
