He is the ideal man for the job. Listen to Liverpool chairman Tom Williams:-

General manager Frank Osborne will make a special trip to Melineux to bid for the former West Ham filer as soon as he knows Wolves are willing to deal. Hooper, now Injured, has been kept out of the Wolves League side by former wing half Norman Deeley. He cost Wolves £25,000 from West Ham in March last year.
