It had been a scrappy game, Wolves against United at Molineux, towards the end of2009/10. There wasn’t much in it at all. We’d probably made the game scrappy and in that sense things had gone to plan for us.
At that time in my career, I wasn’t as defensively minded as I have become. At Wolves I learnt a lot about defensive responsibility from Karl Henry, including a long chat after that particular game. He sat down with me and talked me through what Scholesy had done. I’d looked away, he’d found space behind me, received the ball midway inside our half and less than 10 seconds later he’d pounced in the box, shown great composure to score the only goal of the game.
