Lifelong Wolves fans from Dudley care home visit Molineux
TWO lifelong football fans have enjoyed a heart warming return to their beloved team's stadium after decades away.
Fred Tennant and Ian Humphries, residents at Broadway Halls care home in Dudley, were given the chance to visit Wolverhampton Wanderers' Molineux Stadium thanks to a wish fulfilled by the Wolves Make a Wish Trust.
Scott Bates, activities coordinator at Broadway Halls, described it as 'a perfect day'.
The pair, who have lived at the care home for two years, began their visit at the Wolves Museum.
Mr Tennant pointed out photos of matches he attended years ago, while Mr Humphries quietly took in the memories.
The day became even more special when they met Wolves legends John Richards and Steve Bull.
The former players chatted with the fans over tea and sandwiches before leading them out onto the pitch.
Mr Tennant and Mr Humphries had their shirts signed and received a Wolves memorabilia gift bag.
Mr Humphries said: "This is something I'll remember forever."
Mr Tennant agreed.
He said: "It's been the most memorable day.
"A day I'll never forget.
"It is such an amazing feeling to know that such a loving group of people care so much about us that they helped us to live out a dream – and we didn't even have to ask."
Danica Chugh, general manager at Broadway Halls, said: "We believe that every moment is worth cherishing.
"We want everyone we care for to know how important they are to us here at Broadway Halls.
"It is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in making our residents' dreams come true.
"It was wonderful to see how happy Ian and Fred were – and the staff loved being a part of this as well."
