Overview

Old Gold: A Black Country Football History tells the story of Wolverhampton football from its Victorian beginnings at St Luke's in 1877 to the modern game. This fact-based narrative follows the rise of a Black Country club that became a founder member of the Football League, made Molineux its home, won early FA Cups, and reached its greatest heights under Stan Cullis and Billy Wright. It traces the golden era of league titles, Wembley triumphs, and famous floodlit nights, then continues through decline, revival, European football, League Cup glory, financial crisis, Steve Bull's goals, Sir Jack Hayward's rebuilding of Molineux, and the club's modern resurgence under Nuno Espírito Santo. Written in a polished, flowing style, this book is a story of old gold shirts, devoted supporters, defining players, demanding managers, collapse, recovery, and the enduring football identity of the Black Country.
