Wolves' Jordan Graham: I'd love to score at Aston Villa's Holte End
Jordan Graham has already got plenty of motivating reasons to return to action as soon as possible.
And Villa's relegation to the Championship has thrown up another.
Graham spent 11 years at Villa Park, leaving in January last year – and hasn't got a bad word to say about his former club.
But to score the winner at the Holte End would be a dream come true. And perhaps prove his former employers wrong at the same time.
"I hope to God when the fixtures come out the away fixture is past October time," he said. "I don't want to miss that at all!
"I'd love to score in front of the Holte End. Football's football, you get sold or released, it's a game and a job.
"But I'd be over the moon.
"It's a case of proving something to them. The Villa fans were legendary to me, I've not got a bad word to say about the club, I was there from aged eight to 19 and loved it.
"But there were a few of us – Samir Carruthers, Daniel Johnson and myself, who the fans were saying we should have been given a go.
"We weren't, and now we've gone elsewhere and done well (Carruthers is at MK Dons and Johnson at Preston) and proved people wrong.
"I saw Paul Lambert (his old boss at Villa Park) for the Blackburn game at Molineux and said he was really pleased I'd make an impact. And he said he was happy I wasn't playing for Wolves on the day.
"It was good to hear from someone who wasn't 100 per cent sure I wasn't going to go all the way.
"Things like that please me and give me that drive to do more."
