Wolves Express | Dawson on his recovery and Molineux maker turns 90

Wednesday's episode of Wolves Express hears from defender Craig Dawson as well as Alan Cotterell, the man who designed the current Molineux, as he turns celebrates a special birthday.

First up on the latest episode of the club's official quickfire podcast is the experienced centre-back, who has spent the last few weeks at Compton Park during the international period in preparation for this weekend's visit to Craven Cottage.

Dawson spent the last few months of the 2023/24 season undergoing recovery from a groin injury which required surgery, and the 34-year-old reveals what it was like to face time away from the pitch following the first major injury of his esteemed career.

The defender chats about the mental difficulties players face in those challenging moments, while also looking back at the first part of the current campaign after returning to fitness.

Listeners can also meet the man who designed Molineux on Wednesday's episode, as architect Alan Cotterell - a Wolves supporter himself - reveals the intriguing story of how he got involved in developing the stadium Wolves call home back in the 1990s. 

Cotterell also talks about meeting Queen Elizabeth II when her majesty came to unveil the stadium, how it felt to return to the ground on Sunday to celebrate his 90th birthday and why his design of Molineux didn't include any filled corners.

Released three times a week – every Monday, Wednesday and Friday – Wolves Express is packed with news, updates and exclusive interviews on both the playing and non-playing side of the club, complementing other offerings of the Official Wolves Podcast and Matchday Live Extra.
