NOW for a spot of history. Matt Jarvis has entered a very select band of Wolves players – but is determined not to stay there long.

The former Gillingham winger’s Three Lions debut against Ghana on Tuesday made him the tenth player to have been capped once by England whilst at the club.

Post-1945 there have been four players, none more famous than John Richards who turned out on the left wing against Northern Ireland at Goodison Park in 1973.

Chris Crowe and Alan Hinton (who would earn two more caps with Nottingham Forest) faced France in October 1962. A third Molineux man, Ron Flowers, scored with a penalty in the 1-1 draw.

Jesse Pye faced Ireland in his one England match in 1949 and Tom Smalley made his one England appearance against Wales in October 1936.

Arthur Lowder became Wolves’ first one cap wonder in 1889, playing against Wales at Stoke-on-Trent.

Richard Baugh faced Ireland a year later for his one cap with Wolves. He had began his career with the Wolverhampton-based Stafford Road, earning a call-up to the England team in March 1886 in a 6-1 win over Ireland.

The 30-year-old goalkeeper Billy Rose won one of his total of five England caps with Wolves in March 1891 in a 6-1 thrashing of Ireland at Molineux. In 1893 Robert Topham – an FA Cup winner for Wolves against Everton in the same year – played for England as a winger and inside forward in another 6-1 victory against Ireland.

By 1894 the Shropshire player was with the Casuals when he played in a 5-1 win against Wales.
