An historic promotion 20 years on: Memories of 2003 glory for Wolves to be shared on big stage
The heroes of a magical day for Wolverhampton Wanderers in Cardiff will be taking the stage to tell their stories.
The Grand Theatre in Wolverhampton will be the setting for a night of nostalgia on Monday, May 22 as members of the 2003 Division One play-off winning Wolves squad will talk about the 2002/03 season and that day 20 years ago, May 26, 2003, when the team took on Sheffield United with a place in the Premier League at stake.
The 3-0 win by Wolves propelled the club into the top flight for the first time in 19 years and saw thousands of Wolves supporters enjoy the moment alongside chairman Sir Jack Hayward at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
Sky Sports presenter Johnny Phillips will be the presenter on the night for Sir Jack's History Boys, which starts at 7.30pm, and will be joined by four players from the final who made an impact.
Matt Murray was the goalkeeper on the day and won the man of the match award after saving a penalty and making several crucial saves, while Mark Kennedy, Nathan Blake and Kenny Miller all scored for Wolves.
Coming 20 years after the final, the night will be a chance for those who played then to talk about their experiences of winning a play-off final, answer questions from fans and tell stories of the season, as well as what playing for Wolves meant to them.
Tickets start at £20, with a £4 booking fee, with VIP packages available and concessions available for Friends of the Grand and Sixteen25 available.
