The star player brought with him his two young children, and waved and smiled for fans before the match kicked off on Saturday.

He tweeted: "Great day being back at Wolves seeing everyone! Big love always."

Ikeme was diagnosed with acute leukaemia a year ago, and had to take a step back from his sporting career. After prolonged treatment he recently revealed he was in remission.

Last month he announced he was retiring from professional football, following medical advice.
