Wolves at the World Cup

In just a few weeks time, Wolves fans could be watching 3 of their heroes in the greatest Football tournament. 1958 was the last tournament where Wolves had more than 1 player taking part, in that year 4 players were named in the England squad and all of them played a part. This year Nemad Milijas (Serbia), Marcus Hahnemann (USA) and Adlene Guedioura (Algeria) could mark the first time Wolves have represented more than 1 nation in the Tournament. Milijas and Hahnemann are all but guaranteed their spot in the 23 man squads but Guedioura has gate crashed the Algerian squad and will be hoping he avoids being part of the cull when the final 23 are announced.

The last player to play in a World Cup whilst at Wolves was Seol in Germany 2006. Not long after that tournament though he left Wolves for Reading.
