From the publisher:
With OLD GOLD AND BLACK, Steve Plant set out to create the ultimate showcase for his celebrated collection of Wolves shirts, working with Conker Editions to produce a comprehensive, lavishly illustrated book that is accessible to every fan.
There are only a small number of football shirts from clubs the world over that are recognisable by the sheer mention of their colours alone. By specifying a shirt in OLD GOLD AND BLACK, you could only be talking about the famous Wolverhampton Wanderers. The unique colours of Wolves’ strip are a symbol of the history and tradition of a football club that for nearly 150 years has remained ingrained into the fabric of its community roots.
OLD GOLD AND BLACK tells Wolves’ story through a wonderfully evocative collection of matchworn shirts. Stretching back to the Victorian age, it takes in the Golden Era of the 1950s’ floodlit friendlies and the 1960 FA Cup final; covers the 1974 and ’80 League Cup finals and Bully’s favourite hat-trick, right through to the Fosun era and Rúben Neves.
Author Steve Plant reveals for the first time how he has come to assemble such a remarkable collection. Building on his two editions of They Wore the Shirt, Steve has now added 80 more historic shirts, taking the total here to over 200. Features a foreword by Wolves legend Rúben Neves.
