He was a few years older than I'd thought he was

Yes, last of an era. His personal life meant he wasn't as revered in the last number of years that his musical status warranted

He remained bewildered about what he’d done wrong – though the fact that Myra had originally been said to be 15 rather than 13 suggests someone, somewhere thought there was a problem.

He certainly married his second wife before he divorced his first, and married his third wife before he divorced his second.

Just watched it for the umpteenth time, still a great goal, especially given the conditions.
What a moment that was.
Those kids running on from the corner flag with such joy with their scarves around their wrists and their canvas Parker’s always resonated with me.
I was that sort of age and going to Molineux with a similar look at that time whilst at school in Stafford. Moved abroad the following year and that was that for a long, long time.
Still find myself enjoying the goal and reactions of the fans in equal measures.
RIP Ronnie.

Sounds like we’re a similar age. Which school were you at in Stafford?
I was at St Johns, my sister is older so would’ve been at the ‘big’ school but I don’t recall the name of that one. St Johns seemed old, and scary at the time, very sort of ‘Churchy’, not like the images on Google Earth now so it’s either gone or I’m getting my memories very mixed up. Either way, don’t recall the school itself with particular fondness but the ’footy in the playground with your mates and talking about the match on Saturday’ part was just great.
My old man was in the RAF and stationed at Cosford hence being born in Stafford. Despite being a Jock (Kilmarnock supporter) he loved football and took me to Wolves as soon as I could walk. You then start going with him but standing with your mates from school and away you go. Many of us been that route I’m sure.
Moved abroad at 10 just before the ‘74 league cup final and was never lived close since. Was quite nomadic for a long time but you have you club for life and it’s never wavered. Proud that my lad who’s Cambridge born and bred is loyal Wolves and never contemplated otherwise.
Sorry if that’s a bit rambly, but hopefully makes some sense of the connection and why the local fans perspective on here is very much appreciated.
