If you could change 1 moment from Wolves history

[Deano]

Did Walters get any games for Liverpool that season?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

18 games after he went back and joined Southampton in Jan 1996

Also in 1994/95 if first Peter Shirtliff then John de Wolf don't get injured then I think we go up.

Instead we had the indignity of still playing Paul Blades.

At bloody right-back too.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He started 30 games that season and Rankine started 24. For God's sake.

Cup Semi -Final v Dirty Leeds at Maine Road. We only conceded one goal in that cup run and it knocked us out at that stage. Still fucking hate Bremner.

I agree. John Richard’s hitting the post still haunts me today…….

Didn’t we come very close to signing Jarrod Bowen from Hull? Could of been a great signing for us.

 

[Templeton Peck]

I've heard over the years we were close to signing

Maradona
Lineker
Platini
Boniek

No idea how much truth there is in any of them.

Also heard we close McGhee over O'Neill but no idea if total bollocks or not.

Lineker was a done deal for £150k the Summer following the Bhattis taking over 1983, along with MM and Seaman. Surprisingly the money didn't turn up.

John Barnwell would not have got in his car that evening.

Hull beat us to him when he left Hereford (they were in the PL then and we weren't)

The timeline matches with McGhee/O'Neill as they both moved clubs at the same time. McGhee was always our #1 choice though and had the way higher reputation then. Widely seen as Fergie's future successor and O'Neill was leaving Norwich where they absolutely hated him and he wasn't far off getting sacked after half a season if he hadn't left of his own accord.

Going as kid it wasn’t very user friendly only enjoyable factor was the football and maybe a pre match bovril. Standing the pub drinking a coke and bag of smiths wasn’t much fun either. My experience in the late 90’s as teenager was far more enjoyable still affordable, better facilities etc

I preferred a pint of Smith's and a bag of coke tbh...

Platini and Peter Reid were close under Barnwell before the board pulled the plug. Boniek was close too.

Maradona link is rubbish though as far as I know.

 

[Lupo]

Maradona almost went to Sheffield United

We did of course basically sign Ivan Toney in 2014, then pulled the plug at the last minute.

It took years for him to actually turn any good though so he'd probably have just spent his entire contract out on loan before joining a L1 team on a free.

Think Jason Roberts.

One for the other oldies - Burnley lost at Manchester City

Actually a draw would have been enough for Wolves to win the 1st Division (on goal average) which would have meant 3 consecutive titles.
