Cheers, lets hope all these misfits are actually started to realise its a team game.
That Birthday date is a bit wrong tho, (should be 1879) which means we are only really spring chickens at 138 yrs old.
seems a shame not to start the party now tho.

The club was founded in 1877 as St. Luke's by John Baynton and John Brodie, two pupils of St Luke's Church School in Blakenhall, who had been presented with a football by their headmaster Harry Barcroft.[8] The team played its first-ever game on 13 January 1877 against a reserve side from Stafford Road, later merging with local cricket and football club The Wanderers to form Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 1879
