With the country in lockdown and football amiss, Wolves’ Twitter account have found another way of keeping their fans engaged.
Thanks to the help of the club commentator @MikeyBurrows, plenty of supporters will have gotten their football fix for the day, as he agreed to commentate on goals that people would send into the club’s Twitter page.
Plenty of supporters have been sending in videos of themselves scoring a goal in the garden, sending it into the club, before Mike Burrows does his own personalised commentary for the video and posting it to the account’s page.
Considering the UK is under new, more strict measures to counteract the coronavirus outbreak, these clips may have gone a long way to cheering up someone’s day.
The Premier League is set to return on April 30, however, it would be naive to assume that it will all go back to normal from then, as it is so hard to predict exactly how the following months will pan out.
Nevertheless, supporters were delighted with this idea and plenty got in response with their videos.
Others chipped in with their messages saying how it was a “great idea” and “fantastic”.
Here is what some of the fans are saying below…

Nice idea @wolves. I’m sure there will be loads of kids smahing balls into the top corner at their local parks/schools/leisure centre/wherever they can find a goal.⚽️⚽️⚽️
