The table tennis table at Wolves' training ground sees some action both before and after training as the ultra-competitive among the Molineux squad do battle.
Well last night on Sky the club's former manager got in on the act.
Glenn Hoddle was taking part in a Celebrity Challenge as part of the Dunlop Masters event taking place at the Royal Albert Hall.
Hoddle and former England colleague John Barnes were in action against legendary athlete Jonathan Edwards and livewire Reading midfielder James Harper.
After a few exercises, where the celebrities found it nigh on impossible to return some professional spin serves, it was down to action.
And the 'old boys' done good, Hoddle and Barnes showing their competitive spirits remain undimmed by recovering from a 6-1 deficit to win 12-10.
It was all aid of the Greenhouse Schools Project, an initiative which aims to improve the lives of 11-16-year-olds through sports and performing arts.

I'm surprised hoddle didn't settle for a 10-10 draw!
Who the champ down at the training ground then paul??
If you ask the players, all of them are!!!
There's a woman in Magaluf who'd have beaten them all with both hands tied behind her back...
I saw Hoddle's back hand serve . . . it's obvious he can't do a skill like that.
Thought he might be into badminton more as it's all in the wrist . . .
