He met Wolves players during a training session at the end of last week.T

he former Haybridge High School, Hagley, pupil, a season ticket holder at Molineux, was due to start a  business course at Worcester University on September 15 but was due to  have chemotherapy at Russell’s Hall Hospital in Dudley.
