New E&S book to chart a remarkable season

By on

9th May 2019

- News

Wolves have enjoyed another stellar season to savour with a seventh-placed finish in the Premier League.
 
And to mark a hugely successful campaign for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team the MNA sports team are compiling a 152-page book.
 
Back Where We Belong: Story of the Season 18/19 by Tim Spiers tells the story of an unforgettable year.
 
The book went on pre-sale on Tuesday, with more than 160 copies ordered in the first 24 hours or so.
 
Nuno’s team announced themselves in the top flight in some style, recording wonderful victories over Manchester United, Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal.
 
There have also been thrilling last-minute victories over West Ham and Newcastle as well as a rollercoaster victory over Leicester.
 
And of course, Wolves made it all the way to the FA Cup semi-finals, triumphing over Man United with a glorious 2-1 win in the quarter-finals after earlier beating Liverpool in the third round.
 
It was Wolves’ best run in the competition since 1998, while their confirmed league position of seventh is the club’s highest since they finished sixth in 1980.
 
The Express & Star have been there every step of the way and, on the back of last year’s hugely popular sell-out book On Our Way Back – Story of the Season 17/18, we’ve decided to produce another memento compiling another outstanding Wolves campaign.
 
At least two pages are dedicated to every single match, with match reports, analysis, player ratings, fan verdicts, tweets, stats and quotes from Nuno and the players.
 
Extra special matches, such as the two wonderful 2-1 victories over Man United, the comeback win over Chelsea and the fabulous 3-1 win over Spurs at Wembley are given four pages each with extra analysis and pictures.
 
The book will also contain a number of features, a pre-season guide, a look at the club’s end of season awards and an exclusive interview with Wolves executive chairman Jeff Shi, charting an exhilarating year on and off the field for the club.
 
Author Tim Spiers said: “It’s been yet another season to remember for Wolves as they continue their remarkable rise under Nuno and Fosun.
 
“We were honoured to sell out of thousands of copies for last year’s book and also received some great feedback.
 
“With the team yet again doing the business with a season that arguably even tops last year in terms of a notable achievement, it’s only right that we bring out another book as a keepsake of the season.”
 
Back Where We Belong: Story of the Season 18/19 can be pre-ordered now for £9.99 plus P&P (postage and packing).
 
Visit www.expressandstar.com/wolvesbook to order online via PayPal.
 
You can also order by phone by calling 0800 146540. Orders will be sent by second class recorded delivery on June 10 and will take three to five working days for UK deliveries.
