The 2005-06 campaign was a season of frustration and near-misses for Wolverhampton Wanderers as the club finished 7th in the Championship, narrowly missing out on the play-offs by just eight points. Leading the charge for the Wanderers was the powerful forward Carl Cort, whose 11 league goals provided a vital attacking threat in a team that often struggled to convert dominance into victories. Despite a solid squad featuring the likes of Joleon Lescott and Kenny Miller, the season is remembered as a period of transition under manager Glenn Hoddle, marking a definitive chapter in the club's modern history as they sought a return to the top flight.
