ChatGPT Picks the Best Wolves XI of the 1990s

Tbf Bully would have been utterly awful in midfield but I totally agree with Claude that if Bully playing CM meant Corica was on the bench then it’s all good.

I mean it’s not too far off but Bjorklund can’t have played many games at all for us right?!

Five, arrived in August 2004, only one after September 2004 (Hoddle put him at RB away at Arsenal in the cup, inexplicably).

He was a good player at his Valencia/Rangers peak but we signed him when he was basically retired as apparently it was beyond Dave Jones to sign one proper centre half after we released Butler and Okoronkwo.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' best XI in a 4-4-2 formation from the 1990s would emphasize key players from their consistent performances in the First Division and memorable cup runs. Here's a suggested lineup:

Best Wolves XI (1990s, 4-4-2 Formation)​

Goalkeeper​

Mike Stowell

• The most reliable and consistent goalkeeper for Wolves in the 1990s, Stowell made over 400 appearances for the club.

Defenders​

• Right-Back: Kevin Muscat
  A tough-tackling and no-nonsense defender, Muscat became a fan favorite for his passion and defensive reliability.
• Centre-Back: Keith Curle
  Signed in the latter part of the decade, Curle brought Premier League experience and composure to the backline.
• Centre-Back: Dean Richards
  One of the most talented defenders Wolves had in the 1990s, Richards combined physicality with great ball-playing ability.
• Left-Back: Mark Venus
  A versatile player who was defensively solid and had the ability to contribute with pinpoint crosses and free kicks.

Midfielders​

• Right Midfield: Tony Daley
  Known for his electric pace and dribbling, Daley was a dangerous winger when fully fit.
• Central Midfield: Geoff Thomas
  A natural leader with Premier League and England experience, Thomas was vital for Wolves in the midfield engine room.
• Central Midfield: Paul Birch
  An underrated player, Birch was known for his work rate, passing ability, and leadership in the middle of the park.
• Left Midfield: Steve Froggatt
  A pacy and skillful winger who provided excellent delivery and was a constant attacking threat on the flank.

Forwards​

• Striker: Steve Bull
  Wolves' greatest-ever striker, Bull was an iconic goal scorer who netted over 300 goals for the club during his career.
• Striker: Don Goodman
  A consistent partner for Bull, Goodman offered a blend of strength, aerial ability, and finishing prowess.

Manager​

Graham Taylor (1994-1995)
Taylor's management during the 1990s was the closest Wolves came to promotion and a memorable FA Cup run.

Tactical Notes​

• Bull and Goodman form a classic strike partnership, with Bull’s predatory instincts complemented by Goodman’s physicality.
• Wingers like Daley and Froggatt provide width and pace, while Birch and Thomas add grit and creativity in midfield.
• Richards and Curle ensure a strong defensive base, with Muscat and Venus adding attacking support from the full-back positions.

This XI reflects Wolves’ best talent from the 1990s and would have been a formidable team had they consistently stayed injury-free and achieved their potential.
