Surman relishing Saddlers return

21 July 2009 14:26
The left-sided midfielder made his first-team debut for the Saddlers back in 2005 while on loan from Southampton, going on to make 14 appearances between February and April and scoring two goals. He later made over 140 appearances for Saints, earning England Under-21 recognition in the progress, before Mick McCarthy spent around £1.2million to take him to Molineux at the start of this month. And as he gets ready to return to the ground where it all started for him in a friendly on Tuesday night, Surman told Wolves' official website: "Walsall were my first loan club and the club which gave me my senior debut in the Football League. As a result it's a club which will always be very close to me. "I think for any player, the club where you make your debut is one you always remember and it will be nice to go back there. I think the squad has changed about quite a bit since I was there but I'm sure some of the staff will still be the same and I'm looking forward to it. "The fans always treated me well when I was there and I always remember them giving good backing to the team."
