Halford benefits from healthier approach
Greg Halford has credited going teetotal with rescuing his Wolves career.
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy told Halford his days at Molineux would be numbered unless he impressed in pre-season.
Halford took those comments on board, reinvented his lifestyle and has been one of the club's star performers in the build-up to the new campaign.
The defender told the Wolverhampton Express and Star: "My problem is I've always done just enough. But I needed to look at everything - fitness, diet, sleeping and drinking.
"I began seeing our sports psychologist (Bill Stevens) towards the end of last season to get my head right. Maybe I haven't always had my head in the right place, but then I haven't been at a club long enough to feel settled.
"I've gone completely teetotal and I felt the difference straight away. We had a night out in Ireland after the Bohemians friendly and I got a bit of stick from the lads over why I wasn't drinking. But it's something that I have to do."
