Wolves hero John Richards is backing Hee Chan Hwang to beat his 50 year-old record today.

As Hwang prepares to face Tottenham, he has matched Richards' record of scoring in six consecutive top-flight games for Wolves.

Richards told the club's website: "It's a bittersweet sort of thing. He's brought it to attention, and do I want him to beat it or not? It will be nice if we tied it, but at the same time, you want Wolves to win, so it's as simple as that.

If it goes, it goes, and I will be delighted if it does because it means we're knocking in the goals.

What's interesting is that there's records there that I didn't know existed, and there are more because there are people who look at the games and study past statistics and they find things out. But I know there are certain things, like goals and appearance records, that won't be surpassed.

Nobody will surpass Bully's [goalscoring record] and nobody will get my second. I still have a record on FA Cup goals for Wolves, I still hold the quickest recorded goal for Wolves, it was against Burnley at 14 seconds.

But there are records that are yet to be found which will come to light in the future and you will go, 'Flippin' heck, I never realised that'. But it's lovely, it really is, and it makes the game more interesting and more exciting."
