Wolverhampton Walk: Outside Molineux | Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. | Wolves【4K】

Описание: We take a special tour around Molineux Stadium, home to football club Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C, often referred to as Wolves. It has been their home stadium since 1889. At a capacity of 32,050 it is, at the time of writing, the 20th largest football stadium in England.

It is named after Benjamin Molineux who purchased land in the area back in 1744. By the 1860s, Molineux Grounds as it was then known, had become a pleasure park with various facilities including an ice rink, cycling track, boating lake, and of course, football ground. In 1889 Northampton Brewery bought the grounds and rented it to Wolverhampton Wanderers, who had been playing at Dudley Road before relocating permanently.

The four stands are the Sir Jack Hayward Stand, Steve Bull Stand, Stan Cullis Stand and Billy Wright Stand, all named after people with various associations with the club. Sir Jack Hayward was the owner of the club between 1990 and 2007. Steve Bull played as a striker for Wolves between 1986 and 1999 and is the club's leading goalscorer to date. Stan Cullis played for the club between 1934 and 1947 and went on to manage them from 1948 to 1964, during which time his team notched up three First Division (equivalent of Premier League) wins and two FA Cup wins. Finally Billy Wright played for Wolves between 1939 and 1959 as well as the England national team where he became the first footballer in the world to earn 100 international caps.

HOW TO GET TO THE STADIUM:

The stadium is easily accessible via a nice 15-minute walk through the city if entering from Wolverhampton Station. Here's a map for reference:    • Birmingham Walk: Outside Villa Park | Asto...   - although not clear on Google Maps, it is simple to get past the busy A road before the stadium - just walk through the subway called, appropriately enough, Molineux Subway.

Welcome to anyone new to the channel! I do mostly 4K walking tours of town and city centres, although I'm aiming to document every football stadium in the Premier League in videos like this!
