General Wolves News

If you have been watching Wolves since the late 80's then players from that era will hold a sentimental place in your thinking.

Of course Thommo is nowhere near the level of Jonny etc but the memories he helped create in sending the club back up the leagues will over power any logical thinking

Unless you are a robot or can only view life in Black or White of course....(no offence to the Deutsch-bot of course, he is just built different to the rest of us...)
 
The only line-up I'd ever put Thommo in is a specialist penalty shoot-out one. Even then I'd rather have Raul, de Wolf or SEB ahead of him. He wasn't flawless, I saw him miss at least three.

What he said. Sentimental viewpoint put Thommo close. Obviously Jonny is the far more accomplished player, hence why he made it!

Division 4 winners 1988, Division 3 winners 1989 and then marooned in the 2nd tier of English football for 14 years from then. I understand sentiment but he was part of the stagnation of mainly bland heartache for year after year. Bully gets a free pass because he could have left at any point if he really wanted to.
 
Misses I remember were against Blues away (Bart Greimink!?) and against Sheff Wed in the cup.
 
So the sending us back up the league point stands then....

Didn't mention the boring existence after we got back to the 2nd Division. Thommo played his part in getting us from the shit to the not so shit.....and no I wouldn't have him in my team of the last 40 years just trying to say why people will go with him and similar.

I don't think it was against Bart Greimink, who was lodging in a mates house whilst at Blues. He scored a retaken one against him at home in the 3-2 someone shot Kevin Francis game.

He definitely missed against Blues away, I was in the Blues end with my dad and the locals realised we were Wolves pretty early on, which wasn't ideal. 😂

I remember Barry Fry running up the touchline celebrating one of their goals - cock.

I feel like it was the same season as the 3-2 win.

It was. The two games were pretty close together, think the away game was a re-arranged one, in typical fashion their shithole ground couldn't deal with bad weather in the winter.

Their keeper (might have been Griemink, I can't remember) was dicking around after it was awarded and Thommo rolled it into an empty net. Ref bottled it when really he should have said tough shit to them, and he ended up missing.

Ratface Devlin got their goals, we lost 2-0.
