Denis Irwin credited with influencing Wolves

WOLVES manager Dave Jones leads his side into the Division One play-off final against Sheffield United today unburdened by the weight of history at Molineux.

Wolves chairman and president Sir Jack Hayward as well as their fanatical fan base demand Premiership football.

But in the run-up to today's Millennium Stadium clash, Jones was playing down the level of expectation heaped upon his shoulders. "It's a fantastic history at this club," said Jones. "And if I become part of that, then that's great because nothing would give me more pleasure. It would be great to be among the names and all the photographs you see on the walls at the stadium. But there's a place for the history of the football club. Everyone tells me I've got to do it for the fans, I've got to do it for Sir Jack, I've got to do it for this, I've got to do it for that. But I want to do it for myself first and foremost."
