**What did you miss most about football?**

Everyone always says it’s the camaraderie and the dressing room that you miss, and it is really because I spent 15 years at Wolves and I met some fantastic blokes. I talk regularly with John Richards, Scouse [John McAlle], we all got on well together, because at the end of the day, you had 11 blokes who worked hard together to get three points – or two points as it was. There was great camaraderie here and there were plenty of jokers in the pack, but there were serious ones, professional ones – Scouse and Derek Parkin were really good professionals and they were people I really looked up to. There was also the build-up to the matches on the Saturdays which I miss. I used to get butterflies and would hate the two hours before the match, but that’s what I always would get, and I genuinely missed it when it was gone. When I go to Molineux now and watch the games and hear the crowd, I always wish I was out there again because that’s what you miss.

David Carmo, a 24-year-old center-back, has made significant progress in his football career, particularly highlighted by a successful loan spell at Olympiacos. His performance in Greece was more than just a temporary boost; it was a clear demonstration of his capabilities, attracting attention from several top clubs. Initially not seen as a long-term option for Porto, Carmo’s impressive displays have made him a highly sought-after player in the competitive transfer market. SC Braga president Antonio Salvador noted, “David Carmo had a foot and a half at Liverpool,” in an interview with Marca, underscoring Carmo’s quality and his high regard across Europe.

For Leicester City and Wolves, acquiring a player of Carmo’s caliber could be transformative. His ability to adapt and perform at a high level would provide much-needed solidity to their defenses. Additionally, his recent international experience with Angola adds an extra dimension to his profile, enhancing his appeal.
