Hailing from England's Black Country, named due to the smoke from ironworking foundries in the 19th century, Wolverhampton Wanderers is a club steeped in history with a working class hardness at their core.
Players over the years have exemplified this very hardness that arouses the Wolves faithful and displays of meaty tackles and full-blooded collisions are commonplace in the famous gold (modern day orange) and black strip.
Under the tutelage of Portuguese manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves are back competing in the Premier League and their dogged spirit, mixed with international experience, has made them real contenders for European football this season.
