Wolves captain Conor Coady has said that St James’ Park is one of his two favourite away grounds to play at.

In an interview with the club’s official website, Coady said that it’s very close between the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and SJP.

When asked to name his favourite away ground, Coady said: “I love the new Tottenham one, it’s absolutely brilliant.

“I’ve always like St James’, it’s great when you go and play there. When we won there and ‘Doc’ [Matt Doherty] scored the winner in the last minute, it was a hell of a game.

“I’ll go Tottenham, closely followed by Newcastle. Burnley’s a tough place to go.

“Sometimes it might be a bit of a mentality thing if I’m honest, because you’re not going to London or a big northern ground, and it’s a tough place to play.”
