    Nice timed replacement for Steve Finnan at right back after this campaign. Regarded as Wolves POTY so far. He set up 1 and scored the other against Barnsley on Saturday.

    McCarthy:
    “If you’re ever going to get a 10 out of 10 that was it”

    more...

    Fans:
    Foley - 9 - The guy is class at everything he does. Solid in the air stopped everything down the right and is so calm under pressure, My Man of the Season nevermind MOTM. The crowd gave him a tremendous roar when he scored

    ---

    Foley - 10 - MotM. I've never given a 10 before but I don't know how he could better that performance. Absolutely oozes class. His first touch is outstanding and he thinks like a top class player with more years experience than he could possibly have at his age.

    ---

    Foley - absolutely outstanding performance. I didn't see him make a single mistake, swept everything up at the back, and even looked more dangerous than Knightly going forward. Came close to scoring in the first half, but deservedly got his goal at the end. One of the most complete performances I have ever seen from a Wolves player - MOTM - 10

    ---

    Foley - 9 - MOM - outstanding

    ---

    Foley MOTM by a considerable distance - forget Kightly, SEB and Hennessey. We have got something very special on our hands in this guy.

    ---

    The best right back performance at the Mol by one of ours for a long, long time superb game from Foley

    ---

    Kevin Foley is without doubt the best right back i have ever seen at Molineux. What a player. We had better go up because the guy oozes class.

    ---

    Potentially the best right back in England for me.

    ---

    Already better than Luke Young without a shadow of a doubt.

    ---

    I've never known a situation where a player got applause from all four sides of the ground for his first touch! Foley was class and how he hasn't got an Ireland cap yet (I think) is a mystery.

    He was a regular for the U21s. Was called up by Stan for a few of the squads. Named in Traps first squad. Played 90 minutes in the B match and then was called into the squad vs Cyprus. Surprised he slipped under the radar. ;)

    There's loads of them alright. Reading - Coventry on Sky a couple of weeks ago had 9 Irish players. Norwich - Ipswich was on telly last week, 7 Irish players started.

    Wolves Player of the Year Kevin Foley has admitted he was "gobsmacked" to pick up the fans' accolade at last night's End of Season awards dinner.

    Foles topped the Season Ticket Holders' vote polling 51 per cent of the poll ahead of Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Jody Craddock.

    Fair play to him - it's great to see a bit of talent coming through.

    Hopefully he'll kick on in the big league next year...
