General Wolves News

The commercial stuff we seemed to get right up to the point Darymple was here. It may have just been circumstances I guesse as we were on an upward trajectory. But my impression of him was that he understood the fans and the importance of keeping them on side. He was also pretty vocal about the need to develop the stadium before he was presumably pushed out.

We aren't a big enough club to pull the kind of stunts shi used to pull. There will need to be a very different approach next season if we are going to keep crowds above 25k. The damage that man has done to this club with all of the advantages at his disposal should never be forgotten.
 
What happens to the jerseys that are worn by each player in a League / Cup match ?

Are they ever worn again by that player ?

Just for us old pre-Prem gits I thought I would look up Alun Evans.

'Alun Evans was 18 years, 6 months, and 25 days old when he scored his first goal for Wolves on October 26, 1967 (against West Bromwich Albion), having been born on April 30, 1949,'

I am going to do a quick search to see who else I can find.....
 
Knocker (born 30 September 1945) scored his first league goal vs Bolton on 19 October 1963 aged 18 years and 19 days.
 
Robbie Keane was 17 years and 31 days when he scored two at Norwich on his debut.
 
Supposedly the youngest was Alan Steen. He scored for Wolves in a 3–0 win over Manchester United on 18 March 1939 at the age of 16 years, 8 months, and 20 days — making him the youngest recorded first-team goalscorer for the club across all competitions.

I was going to look up Knocker too. You beat me to it!

Thought I would check YouTube for 'Peter Knowles first goal'. Obviously, it is not there but this came up as an option from 1970. Let's say that the referee gave Liverpool several 'debatable' decisions including disallowing for whatever reason our goal and giving them a penalty. Nothing changes eh?
