Wolves' Matt Murray's almost back and it's been a long time - just ask Leicester!
May 6 2007 - Wolves hammer local rivals Leicester City 4-1 at the Walkers Stadium to cement fifth place in the Championship and book a play-off showdown with local rivals West Bromwich Albion.
Seyi Olofinjana, Michael Kightly and Andy Keogh, not forgetting Gareth McAuley's own-goal, had just helped shove four past the Foxes and Mick McCarthy's boys were looking forward to the next lucrative challenge.
But that challenge never arrived for goalkeeper Matt Murray because days later he broke his shoulder and has remained on the sidelines ever since.

Now following Murray's 45-minute return with Wolves' reserves last night, what's more remarkable:
The fact that Wayne Hennessey has grabbed his opportunity with both hands and now looks to be Molineux's undisputed number one?
Or that fact that Leicester have seen SEVEN different managers in the dugout since Murray's last taste of first team action between the sticks? Yes, that's right - Nigel Worthington, Martin Allen, Gary Megson, Frank Burrows, Gerry Taggart, Ian Holloway and Nigel Pearson.
