EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Wolverhampton Wanderers Chairman Jack Hayward is seen celebrating the club's promotion to the Premier League after a resounding 3-0 victory over Sheffield United in the Nationwide Division One play-off final at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, in May 2003. With the iconic FA Premier League trophy held aloft, Hayward's jubilant expression encapsulates the elation and relief felt by the Wolves faithful after a rollercoaster season that saw the team narrowly miss out on automatic promotion. The play-off final was a tense and nerve-wracking affair, with both teams giving their all in front of a capacity crowd at the Millennium Stadium. Wolves, under the stewardship of manager Glenn Hoddle, had finished the regular season in third place, just three points behind Sunderland and Ipswich Town, who secured automatic promotion. But, in typical Wolves fashion, they refused to be deterred and dispatched Sheffield United with ease, thanks to goals from Joleon Lescott, Henrik Pedersen, and Michael Bridges. The promotion marked a significant moment in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers, who had spent the previous decade languishing in the lower reaches of English football. Jack Hayward, a local businessman and lifelong Wolves fan, had taken over as chairman in 1990 and had invested heavily in the club, both financially and emotionally. His dream of returning Wolves to the top flight had finally been realized, and the photograph captures the sheer joy and pride he felt in that moment. The image is a poignant reminder of the highs and lows of football, and the indelible bond between a club and its supporters. It is a testament to the power of determination, resilience, and the unwavering belief that anything is possible, no matter the odds. And for Wolverhampton Wanderers fans, it is a moment they will never forget.
