The 2008-09 campaign delivered a triumphant return to the top flight for Wolverhampton Wanderers as the club surged to the Championship title. Leading the charge was the clinical striker Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, whose league-leading 25 goals proved decisive in a season built on a relentless start and the tactical guidance of Mick McCarthy. It was a landmark year that marked Wolves' resurgence after a five-year absence from the Premier League and remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
