Wolves midfielder Surman planning South African trip

Wolves midfielder Andrew Surman hopes to go 'home' to South Africa next year to follow England at the World Cup finals.

“I was born there in 1986 and we lived there for about eight years,” he told the Sunday Mercury. “I remember a bit about it but I was quite young. I keep meaning to go back but it always seems the weather over there never really fits into place with when I have a break over here!

“I would love to make it out to the finals and maybe take one or two of my Wolves team-mates too. I don’t have family there but I have a few friends and if I can get the tickets I would love to go and watch some of the games.”
