In this evocative photograph captured by Sam Bagnall of the AMA, Bobo Balde of Wolverhampton Wanderers is seen in the thick of the action during a pre-season clash against Crewe Alexandra in the summer of 2009. The image transports us back to an earlier era of Wolves football, a time when Balde was a key figure in the team's midfield. The scene is set at Gresty Road, the home ground of Crewe Alexandra, where the two teams met for a friendly encounter ahead of the new season. Balde, wearing the iconic black and gold stripes of Wolverhampton Wanderers, is shown in a determined and focused stance, his eyes fixed on the ball as he prepares to challenge an opponent. The intensity of the moment is palpable, with the contrasting colours of the two teams' shirts and the lush green grass of the pitch adding to the visual appeal. Balde, a versatile midfielder, was a popular figure among Wolves fans during his time at the club. He made a total of 52 appearances for the team between 2008 and 2010, scoring five goals and providing valuable contributions to the team's midfield. The photograph captures the essence of his tenacity and fighting spirit on the pitch, making it a fitting reminder of his time at Molineux. The pre-season fixture against Crewe Alexandra was an important opportunity for Mick McCarthy's Wolves side to test their mettle against opposition before the start of the new campaign. Balde and his teammates used the game to fine-tune their tactics and build team morale, setting the stage for a successful season ahead. This photograph encapsulates the energy and excitement of that pre-season clash, offering a glimpse into the past and reminding us of the passion and commitment that defines the beautiful game.
