I remember as a kid, although transfers weren't so frequent as they are today dreading every close season and praying we didn't sell John Richards or Kenny Hibbit. Even as a young adult, after Steve Bull, Andy Mutch and Robbie Dennison had fired us from the depths of despair at the foot of the football pyramid back to the respectability of what is now the Championship I prayed we wouldn't sell them. Now, ending my years of middle life I've dreaded losing Neves, Moutinho and Conor Coady. The first two were inevitable, Moutinho was nearing the end of his glittering career and Ruben was entering his prime, but Conor was the glue that stuck this present period of reasonable success together. I liked the lad from the moment he signed for us as a Championship midfielder that always gave that 110%. During those first few seasons where he was moved between midfield and right back I heard the noises of the doubters but I saw a player there. Nuno changed everything, the formation, the dynamic of the side, the belief and Conor Coady. He saw in Conor the vocal leader he needed to form 'The Pack', he also saw a player that could land a sixty yard pass on a sixpence. Nobody but nobody played a system with 3 at the back like we did, and they still haven't. Conor Coady has embodied everything a fan wants in a player and leader, on and off the pitch. He is a role model, that's why more than anything Southgate wanted him in the England squad. He's a thoroughly decent and likeable man that any dressing room would love to have, and he isn't a half decent footballer either. Every man I've mentioned in this post either has, or will go down in Wolverhampton Wanderers folk-law. Their names will grace the history books of the club forever. I'm gutted to see him leave but his place in our history is guaranteed. I wish him all the best, and perhaps someday in the future he may return in some capacity. Whatever happens he will go down as a Wolves legend.
