Wolves Celebrates 150 Years and Black History Month

At the Junction on an autumn afternoon in Wolverhampton, Toti joined the club’s first Black player Don Gardner and first home-grown Black player Joe Jackson, along with the club’s first Black goalscorer Bob Hazell and the legendary figure of George Berry – a 1980 League Cup winner with the Old Gold.
