LOLs ! I'd never heard of him before until DW mentioned him a week or 2 ago.

It wasn't just Scottish keepers that were shite . . . their managers were as well.

Absolutely ! He joined Wolves from Aberdeen as an inside forward (he scored a hat-trick in the 66/67 USA Final between Wolves and Aberdeen). It was one of the few genuine successful tactical/player switches that McGarry ever did at Wolves.

I forgot about Frank Munro - a superbly talented centre-back (missed out in going to the 1974 World Cup). IMO he was the best Wolves centre-back in the last 50 years.

He should have gone in 1978 (when he played for Aston Villa) - he was absolutely at his prime. In was the top scorer in the 1st Division in 1976/77 with 25 goals and scored another 20 in 1977/78 - I believe he was the most prolific Scottish goalscorer in England at the time. He'd already been...

He should have played more for Scotland.

Actually he didn’t. I’ve seen him in a couple of interviews where he said his most enjoyable time in football was when he was at Wolves. He also was not a fan of Ron Saunders, the Villa manager during this time. As for Peter Withe, he was one that got away. He was the perfect replacement for...

Nor will I. I assume you're subscribed to Optus Sports ?

Very sad . . . Christ he's only just over 3 weeks older than me. Saw him play a few times for Villa - a very good striker. He played in the final of Villa's 1982 European Cup win.

Today’s update: Andy Gray: Wolves Goals A relatively short compilation as TV coverage of football in the late 70s and early 80s was infinitely less than it has been for the last 35 years. Andy Gray has always been a favourite of mine, ever since he signed for Wolves from Aston Villa in...

Today's update: Robbie Keane: Wolves Goals The Irish teenage sensation was only at Wolves for 2 seasons and 2 games but his impact was immense with his infectious and impish sense of a goal. He scored twice, aged 17, on his debut away at Carrow Road against Norwich City. He scored 29 goals...

Great write-up mate (y) Dave Jones should have gone after this debacle. I don’t accept the view that it was worth it given Wolves got promoted the next season because, IMHO, season 2002/03 had many serious flaws despite the euphoria of the play-off win, which became very apparent in 2003/04...

I’ll look forward to it. 22 years later I’m still angry - more so after having re-watched (a few times as well) the games in working on the match videos for the season.

Probably about 4-5 weeks away from uploading 2014/15 season.

True but one more win in our last 9 games (we only won 2) would have gained Wolves promotion on goal difference. Not that’s it much consolation but Albion were woeful in the PL in 2002/03 - gaining only 26 pts (they were 18 pts from safety). Compare it to Wolves 2003/04 season where we won 33...

Today's update: 2001/02 Season (50 matches) Season Summary: Division 1 = 3rd (Play Off Semi-Finalist) FA Cup = 3rd Round League Cup = 1st Round The semi-final play-off defeats and disappointments in seasons 1994/95 and 1996/97 pale in comparison to what happened in season 2001/02. The club...

As always (y) Big release tomorrow - season 2001/02 😋

Absolutely ! ! ! I’m doing quite a bit of casual work refereeing for high schools (some nice extra pocket money) and I wear my Wolves black training shorts with pockets and a Wolves black cap - both have the Wolves hexagon logo. Can’t wear my 70s Wolves shirt as I have to wear a yellow referee...

One of stage and screens great voices !

Never heard of Manuel Thetis before - he only played 3 games so he certainly made a strong impression (negative) on you.
