Manchester City star Joleon Lescott spent six years at Wolves and believes Terry Connor is one of the most influential coaches he has worked with and backs his appointment as caretaker boss until the end of the season. Connor has been appointed manager of the club until the end of the season, replacing sacked manager Mick McCarthy.
Lescott said:
"There are many other things he told me at the time that I maybe didn't realise immediately but then, as I developed in my career, started to work really well.
"He's a proper football man, and probably one of the most knowledgeable about the game that there is around and helped to develop people like Matt Jarvis and Michael Kightly."
Lescott added: "TC had a lot of respect from the players at the time when I was there and I am sure that will be the same from the lads who are at Wolves now.
"He was always such a focused and determined person and everything was so well organised that, if he is in charge of Wolves on Saturday, they will certainly be well prepared." "TC is one of the most influential coaches I have worked with in my career - and that includes everyone I have worked with. I owe him a lot.
