3. Ikeme suffered a knee injury during the 2006–07 season and had to undergo surgery,and this kept him out of the game until late 2007.

4. After recovering, he only served as a substitute keeper until September 2008 when he got his chance to return to Wolves’ first team after regular keeper Wayne Hennessey was suspended.

5. His career has been marred by a series of injuries. In March 2013 he conceded an own goal against Bristol City, backpass go between his legs and roll over the line. He was substituted at half time, and it was later confirmed that he had broken his hand during the interval by punching a tactics board in the dressing room in frustration at the incident.
