Wolves was one of the founding members of the Football League in 1888. The club in 2019 - 2020 is enjoying its 65th season of top flight football; Wolves's longest continuous period in the top tier was 26 consecutive seasons in the 33 years between 1932 and 1965 (n.b. there was no league football between 1939 and 1946 due to World War II). In the 1950s, Wolves were English League champions three times (1953 - 1954, 1957 - 1958 and 1958 - 1959), under the management of Stan Cullis. Wolves have also finished League runners-up on five occasions, most recently in 1959 - 1960.

Nickname
Wolves, The Wanderers
Wolverhampton Wanderers, is quite a mouthful, so it’s only natural that their name would be shortened to Wolves, but their nickname is "The Wanderers." The team got their name after merging a local cricket and football club known as the Blakenhall Wanderers, blending the two clubs and names to create Wolverhampton Wanderers.
