Following a 12-month battle with acute leukaemia Carl Ikeme was forced to bring an 18-year Wolves career to a premature end and retire from professional football in July 2018.
We invited Carl to spend the day at Compton Park; meeting old friends, touring the updated facilities and taking part in a training session for the first time in nearly five years.

Just love this bloody Club.
So emotional 🥺🥺 blushing all thru. He still looks so good mehn
He looks great. I was really sad when he retired and so glad to see him in training.
It was quite emotional to see Carl walk out on the Compton turf for the first time in years. Great servant of the club and was a fantastic keeper, definitely had potential for England. We love you Kemes /_/
Really happy to see Carl back in action. Stay strong.💪
We are happy for you bro
Ruddy out of contract in the summer, teaser for our new back up keeper? 👀
Can he still replace Uzoho and Okoye. I don’t mind his age. Buffon is 40. Nice seeing him back at Wolves.
Absolutely fantastic to see Carl back.top bloke
It's like he never left
I had tears in my eyes watching this…
He could have given the Super Eagles a wonderful world experience in the 2018 World Cup…
It's good to see him getting involved again.
Much love and respect for you Carls….

He could probably be a keeper in the Championship to be honest he looked sharp
Sign him
Carl still has something in him showing good reflexes
Waoh! This is real good news þo be received on the resurrection morning. Ikeme has finally "resurrected". God continue to bless you with abundant grace to continue and not look back. It's also a good news for Nigeria.
Brilliant!!!!
I just wish he could come out of retirement again, he is so good… praying for you

He still got it! Since he left, the Nigerian national team is yet to find a decent replacement. 4 years later
I support Arsenal but this video just made me a huge fan of your team. It's very heartwarming. Brought a tear to my eyes.
Miss him so much
Almost as much as coady did 😂
