Wolves are NOT the best promoted team ever... 1993-94 Newcastle are

Wolves are the best newly-promoted side in Premier League history, at least according to Phil Neville.

They had a chance to support those claims here at the home of the club whose supporters must surely take biggest issue with Neville's comments earlier this season.

For it was in 1993-94 that Kevin Keegan's team won elevation to the Premier League and duly finished third in their debut season, earning their 'Entertainers' moniker along the way.

Wolves, by way of comparison, are 10th in the table after 16 games - it's hardly the stuff of legend, even if this was a second victory in a week after a run of one point from six matches.
