Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters will remember the 2017/18 season with great fondness as Nuno Espirito Santo came in and led the club back to the Premier League after a six-year spell in the Championship.
Winning the title with a club-record 99 points, Wolves finished the campaign with 30 wins and nine draws in 46 matches. Diogo Jota, now of course at Liverpool, was the highest league scorer with 17.
Ruben Neves was another player who stood out, as his €10 million move from Porto has since proved to be one of the best bits of business Wanderers have ever done.
Incredibly, though, Neves is one of just two players to have started games during that campaign to still be contracted to the football club.
So, where are the other 20 now, in 2023? BirminghamWorld has taken a look so you don’t have to.

17. Ben Marshall
Just the one start during the 17/18 season. Now retired from professional football and playing for non-league side Stoneclough following spells at Millwall and Norwich City. | Getty Images

18. Morgan Gibbs-White
Was used plenty as a super substitute as a wonderkid. Sold to Nottingham Forest a few years later for a club record fee of around £40-45 million with add-ons. | Getty Images

19. Diogo Jota
Vital to the promotion as top scorer both in the league and in all competitions. Moved to Liverpool in 2020 for £35 million and remains there. | Getty Images

20. Benik Afobe
Scored six goals that term despite only starting seven matches. He was lethal off the bench. Afobe has since played for Stoke City, Bristol City, Trabzonspor, Millwall and now Hatta Club. | Getty Images
