In the all-time table since the league's inception in 1888, Wolves sit in the all-time top four, behind only Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal in terms of all time league position.[42]
Cumulatively, they are the eighth most successful club, behind Chelsea, with 13 major trophy wins (see English Football Records).
Uniquely, they are the only club to have won titles in five different Football League divisions,[43] and in 1988, their Fourth Division title glory made them the first team to have been champions of all four professional leagues in English football, although this feat has since been matched by Burnley in 1992 and Preston in 1996. They remain the only club to have won all top national cups (FA Cup, Football League Cup and Football League Trophy).[44]
They were also the first team to score 7,000 league goals[45] and trail only Manchester United in total league goals (as of the end of the 2008-09 season).[42]
