It promises to be an exciting couple of months for Tony Roberts, a key part of the Wolves and Wales staff, as his club chase a European place and his country a spot at a first World Cup since 1958.
The goalkeeping coach can often be seen orchestrating from the edge of the technical area and Roberts, a colourful character who also counts set pieces as his responsibility, is held in high regard by players and staff. “I’ve always been lively,” Roberts says from Wolves’ training base. “I’m not one to sit still. If I go on holiday I can’t stand the sun, I’d rather go on the bike, so it’s Center Parcs for me instead shooting off wherever.”
