Didn't Karl basically say most refs are shite and on a powertrip, and that more ex-pros should be recruited to run the game because they "understand it"?

In other news, Keith Curle has turned 59 today. Yes, we're all getting old.

Pretty sure Ally Robertson is the oldest I've ever seen for Wolves. Still going strong at 71.

 

[Tony Towner]

Emlyn Hughes would be 76, Derek Parkin at 75 the oldest still alive for me I think

Ian Wright turned 60 the other day, that blew my mind.

Bully is 60 in less than 18 months. Stop the world, I want to get off

The fresh faced fullback Jamie Smith turns 50 next year. I can't cope with that.

Jim McCalliog, 77; Bernard Shaw, 78; Mike Bailey 81 - quite a few of the early-1970s players still around.

Death is scared of Jim McCalliog

Geoff Palmer is still about, only 69 though.

Phil Parkes is 76, seems like quite a few of my childhood heroes are still going strong.

Graham Turner was 76 last month, still looks and sounds in very good nick.

Geoff Palmer played in the first game I attended. Regarding Wolves players still with us then John McAlle and John Richards are the oldest that featured in my first game. Alan Ball featured for the opposition so I got to see one of the Boys Of 66 though can remember nothing about the game. Finished 0-0

GT was only 39 when he became Wolves boss but looked older but then has changed little in the subsequent 37 years

Dunno if it was the same game but my first game (probably) featured Alan Ball playing for Everton.

No mine was against Southampton on Boxing Day 1979

 

[sycophantia]

This thread has sent me down a rabbit hole, but it looks like there's enough players left from the early 70s to put a half decent first 11 out.

Boo, young fucker

I've seen Tommy Hutchinson play against Wolves for Swansea, he's 76 now.
