On Tuesday, it was the 27-year-old Englishman’s birthday, which the club paid homage to with a Twitter post (per Wolves), leading fans to gush over the central defender.
Happy birthday, skipper!

Is Conor Coady deserving of a call-up to the England set-up?Yes, he has been fantastic for usNo, he needs to do more to earn it

Coady, who is valued at £16.2 million (as per Transfermarkt), has been with the Molineux club for four and a half years, having arrived from Championship outfit Huddersfield Town in the summer of 2015 (per Transfermarkt).
Over his time in the Midlands, the English defender has featured in 220 appearances for the Old Gold (per Transfermarkt), leaving supporters to wax lyrical over their captain after the club post.
Love Coady, we are lucky to have him in our ranks, everything you want from a captain. Who would have thought it 3 years ago? #wwfc

What do we think?
It is absolutely clear to see from the responses from supporters that they are infatuated with their skipper, with some even believing he is deserving of a call-up to the England setup.
With a 6.48/10 average performance rating in the Premier League so far this season (per WhoScored), though, Coady may have to increase that figure a little before being deserving of a call-up from Gareth Southgate.
