Worth 5 mins of anyone's time.

Just look how long ball we were

Remember it as if it was yesterday. The Waterloo road was full to see them lift the trophy on top of the main entrance after the game.

Great night, mates dad got me and him a free ticket (worked for three pines). Nagged me mom for weeks to let me go, wasn't normally allowed to night matches.

IIRC it was a re-arranged fixture from earlier that year, possibly due to cup commitments.

Would have been them not us then!

Out in the first round of the League Cup (Blues over two legs) and the FA Cup (Grimsby away).

Looking at it they got knocked out in the 5th round and we didnt play that weekend.

I remember missing this one as my parents said I had to go to some Cubs bullshit.

FA Cup (Grimsby away).

Mark Kendall chucked it in straight from a corner, it's about then it dawned that if we went up we needed to move on

I missed the Roger Hansbury Sherpa Van game because I had a GCSE French exam the following day, which I spectacularly failed. Went to both Bury games, we got slapped 3 1 there first game of the season from memory

We did:

Bury (a) 1988/89 - Wolves Complete History

Saturday 27 August 1988 at Gigg Lane (Att 4,314) Bury (2) 3 (Hoyland 15, Robinson 44, Bishop 65): Farnworth, Hill, Pashley, Leonard, Valentine, Higgins, Lee, Robinson, Hoyland, McIlroy, Bishop; Subs Parkinson, Clements. Wolves (0) 1 (Streete 60): Kendall, Bellamy, Thompson, Streete, Robertson...

Veno not playing ahead of any of Thommo, Robertson or Streete is a scandal and that could be the most one paced midfield of all time.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Looking at the season my attendance record (first ever season) was:

Reading W 2-1
Port Vale D 3-3
Wigan W 2-1
Blackpool W 2-1
Southend W 3-0
Huddersfield W 4-1
Preston W 6-0
Mansfield W 6-2
Chester W 3-1
Cardiff W 2-0
Bristol City W 3-0
Fulham W 5-2
Northampton W 3-1
Bolton W 1-0
Bristol Rovers L 0-1
Brentford W 2-0
Torquay L 0-2
Swansea D 1-1
Bristol City W 2-0
Sheff Utd D 2-2

False advertising! I thought that was all normal.

My son's was also the that league but under Jackett, must have gone to 20 games and didn't lose once.

We started the next season pretty well and hadn't lost a home game on a Saturday by early November - I didn't take him midweek at that age. We went to Derby away and got hammered 5-0. Walking away from the ground he asked me if I'd seen us lose before...once or twice son, once or twice.

He's 16 next week and still fucking hates Derby

We only lost to Walsall and McDons all season at home in 2013/14

Nigel Martyn had a fucking stormer in the Bristol Rovers game that was my first defeat. Also saw Chris Coleman and Robbie Earle that season but we didn't do that kind of signing then.

Still not sure I've seen a better keeper performance live than Martyn on that Easter Monday, although I may well have a sepia tinged view

The only video I can find:

But I'd happily bet good money he made 20+ saves on the day.

Awful defending on their goal from Dennis "hat trick at Old Trafford" Bailey and I do remember asking my Dad what all the fuss was about when Kenny Hibbitt walked across the pitch as their assistant manager.

Early kick off. We zoomed over and watched Everton’s 3pm ko on the way home. They beat Newcastle 4-0.

Tony Cottee hat trick on debut?

Yes. Impressive memory TT.

 

[Bertiewolf]

Steven Fletcher came on for the last 10 or so at the Racecourse - joining Liam Macalindon. At this point ex wolf Aaron Hayden had already left the field after his sadly customary injury! Other ex wolf Anthony Forde was not in todays Wrexham squad - but loanee Tyler Roberts had a final 5 or so for Donny.

 

[Lycan]

João on as a half time sub for Braga vs Moreirense. Currently losing 2-1.
