Sid Kipping (1912-1987)
Sid was @Wolves' team driver for 21 yrs and never got fined for being late. After the 1974 Cup win, he apparently took the coach past The Hawthorns on the way home! On semi-retiring, he served refreshments to players & officials. #Wolves150 #HiddenHeroes

Jack Dowen (1914-1994)
Jack devoted around 50 years to @Wolves, first as a player in the 1930s & later as a trainer/coach. Working with generations of players & managers, he became one of Molineux's most respected behind-the-scenes figures.🐺🧡 #Wolves150 #HiddenHeroes
