Ruddy, Forde and Bodvarsson: Wolves and Wrexham ‘played for both’ XI

Ahead of Wolves' Championship fixture against Wrexham at the Racecourse Ground, the Express & Star compiled a starting 11 of players who represented both clubs. The selection features prominent figures across multiple eras, including goalkeeper John Ruddy, defenders Aaron Hayden, Mickey Evans, and George Showell, alongside midfielders Ian Arkwright, David Jones, Darren Ferguson, and Anthony Forde.

The lineup is rounded out by an attacking trio consisting of Jon Dadi Bodvarsson, Liam McAlinden, and Steven Fletcher. Several included players contributed significantly to promotion campaigns and key eras for both sides, bridging modern successes under managers like Phil Parkinson and Nuno Espirito Santo with historical achievements dating back to the 1950s.
