Bring it on....

[Derby Wolf]

07/08

Robinson did Kightly near the end, raked his Achilles. Barely played again all season. Horrible fat bastard.

We lost 3-0 there in 06/07, they still had borderline PL players right through the team and we were playing the likes of Jemal Johnson.

Course. I was debating in my head what year it was. I always forget they didn't win the playoffs.

Me and the group I went with were back then on the back page of the Birmingham Mail the following morning in the background as Hennessey saved the penalty!

I have to admit in the late 60s/70s/early 80s the BCD never appeared to be such a big deal - it never was for me.

In the early 70s Wolves were by far the better team and had the edge in the games but by the late 70s West Brom had a very good team and had the better of the results.

Maybe it became more poisonous in the 80s ? I don't know as I had left the UK in '82. In fact one of my best mates in Auckland in the 80s was a West Brom fan and we never had any issues between ourselves whenever the 2 teams played.

March 71 vs the shit away. Absolute carnage. The coach I was in going to the match had a lump of masonry through the windscreen. Fighting all over the place.

Wolves won 4-2.

Probably more about hooliganism than BC rivalry, but sadly the scars never healed for me.

Was actually Mowbray's first game in charge when they beat us 3-0 in Oct 06. The disparity in team strength probably more in their favour than in any other game in my lifetime.

I am SHOCKED that Seyi, Rohan and England's Jay Bothroyd weren't up for a derby day scrap

Kamara and Koumas were outstanding, it felt like they were going to score or create a goal every time they got the ball, it was excruciating.

 

[Mel Evo]

Pretty sure I watched that in a bar in Madrid with a random Wolves supporter who also lived there. The chasm in physical strength was incredible (between the two teams, there was nothing in it between me and this other lad).

Always thought Koumas was your ultimate "too good for the Champ, not good enough for the PL" player.

Him and Megson was a very odd fit!

Another grim memory was buying a ticket and watching a midweek game on a screen while sat in the John Ireland, couldn’t make out what was going on, 1990’s again and I think we lost 1-0??

Probably March 95, lost 2-0

Probably March 95, lost 2-0

Sounds about right, I think I just made out a near post headed goal, need to google this one.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Was right after John de Wolf got injured vs Sunderland (not actually Lee Howey's fault, unlike his assault on Geoff Thomas) and our defence totally went to shit for the rest of the season.

It was an irreplaceable afro.

Wait, who was afro guy? de Wolf had the luscious blonde hair I think?

Bah, this is what I get for talking about shit that happened before I was born.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Afro?!

Also grim was watching us on the screens at Molineux v Sheff Wednesday away, the day Albion went up.

Cameron (?) Scored REALLY early to give us hope, but nope, horrible.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Don Goodman had a decent 'fro at the back end of his time here (97/98).

He was more a slickster in 94/95 though.

 

[divorcedwolf]

During a stint working for West Midlands Travel I also had the pleasure of driving a bus full of fans from Molineux to Hawthorns, I’ll never forget pulling off M5 at junction 1 with the whole bus rocking and everyone chanting. Us drivers were promised entry to the game but they wouldn’t let us in, we watched through the railings on the corner of the Smethwick end, did Curle score an own goal? Think we drew 1-1. I was the only driver not to get a whip round :-(

 

[Lupo]

John Schneider lookalike to our American viewers

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The Curle OG was a 1-0 defeat, Sunday lunchtime. Sep 97.

 

[Alan]

This is going to properly drive me nuts. I can see the exact picture I'm thinking of in my head but can't find it online.

Hands on hips, 70s-ish I think... Maybe with the kit that had the leaping wolf stack on it?

Oakes on their equaliser, Jesus.

Really good Cameron goal though.

George Berry was the archetypal Wolves afro
