Max Kilman is the former futsal star turned unsung Wolves hero now on England boss Gareth Southgate's radar... and he has one of Team GB's top psychologists to thank for his meteoric rise under Bruno Lage

Max Kilman produced a golden performance to help Wolves to their first victory at Old Trafford in 42 years — using the secrets that drove Team GB to some memorable Olympic displays.

The Wolves defender has been one of the unsung stars of the Premier League, playing in all but one minute of the campaign so far — 1,709 in total — as part of a defence who have conceded fewer goals than every team except for leaders Manchester City.

The 1-0 win over Manchester United on Monday enhanced the reputation of Kilman, who won 25 caps for England at futsal, a small-sided version of the game, from 2015-18.
