CAPTAIN COADY: LET’S BE OLD GOLD LEGENDS

WOLVES skipper Conor Coady has urged his team-mates to write their names in the club’s glorious history. Promoted Wanderers, who are seventh, are into the FA Cup semi-finals at Wembley after beating Manchester United 2-1. The club has a rich history as English champions three times in the 1950s and fourtime FA Cup winners, the last of which was in 1960.

Wolves have endured some tough times since but are now firmly on the march once more. Asked what he told his teammates before the game, defender Coady (above) revealed: “Make history, make sure this team doesn’t go unnoticed. Make sure people remember this team.

“Players come and go years and years down the line. We’ll come and go. More players will come in. But we are a good team. We have some unbelievable footballers.

“We said before the game we had players who’ve played in big games and we want to make history for this football club and now we’re there we want to make sure we do it right.”

Coady captained Wolves to promotion last term and they have since had positive results against all the Premier League’s top six in either the top flight or FA Cup.

But Coady added: “That’s the proudest I’ve been for the boys in the dressing room, all the staff, everyone to do with this football club. Where it’s come in the last couple of years is nothing short of sensational.

“I’m sure we’ll have 30-40,000 at Wembley cheering us on.”

Coady praised their partnership of Raul Jimenez, on loan from Benfica, and Diogo Jota (inset) who both scored to take their tallies to 15 and seven goals respectively.

He said: “We are so lucky to have them at this football club. It would be fantastic if we keep Raul. He’s a sensational footballer. It’s like he’s been here for many years.

“We know what Diogo brings, and you look at him now, and it’s like he’s been a Premier League player all his life.”
