Former striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake hits century milestone - and recalls his favourite Wolves goals

While many players have left Molineux under a cloud over the years, Sylvan Ebanks-Blake remains a popular figure with Wolves fans.

After all, it was Ebanks-Blake's strike against QPR that secured promotion to the Premier League on a memorable Molineux afternoon in 2009.

And the 29-year-old, now on the comeback trail at League One side Chesterfield, has picked that famous Wolves moment as one of the four favourite goals of his career.

Ebanks-Blake has just notched his 100th career goal, in a 2-1 home defeat against Oldham last Saturday.

That made it seven in 14 for this season - a rejuvenation for Ebanks-Blake after enduring injury-hit spells at Ipswich and Preston after leaving Molineux in 2012.

The striker also picked a wondergoal for Wolves against Charlton in his top four, as well as his first career goal for Manchester United, and that milestone century goal for Chesterfield.

He told Chesterfield's official website: "Every goal is special, but I have to include that one as it was my hundredth.

"I knew going into the game that I was a goal away and it was great to be able to get it so quickly.

"I guess it's not luck any more, I've got a sense in the box for it and that's what I've worked on since I was a kid."

In no particular order his top four are...

A moment entrenched in the mind of any Wolves fan who saw it.

Mick McCarthy's Wolves earned promotion by beating QPR 1-0, with Ebanks-Blake coolly side-footing home from Andy Keogh's pass.
