Wolves History Thread

My favourite (and not just because they are £300 on CFS) that I have is my Manders Paint & Ink sponsored Scoreline shirt. Unfortunately I was about 20 when it was out and I now look like I've eaten my former self. As a result it's now my sons pride and joy.
 
From my Dads hidden collection - The Scoreline shirt (Scoreline logo on the sleeves) but with some autographs on the back. Cannot work out whose scribble that is below Keith Downing's is (underneath and to the right)

This is the one I am struggling with

It looks like a 'Mark' but unless Veno was properly pissed [which stands a decent chance] I don't think that's him. I have the Wolf head shirt framed and it's clearly different on that
 
Jesus, you lot are better at deciphering those than me! The only one that actually looks like a name is Tom Bennett. And the one that's been identified as Keith Downing looks like Keith Fanny to my eyes...
 
Pretty sure Ally Robertson is on there and his Wolves days didn't overlap with Rankine's...

Could be either Mark Blake or Mark Burke.
 
I keep thinking the surname is Steele but the first name looks nowt like Tim.

Could be Burke, handwriting is all over the place which would be apt :)
 
It's got easier on more recent shirts as the tread now seems to be to put your shirt number alongside, or incorporated in, your signature. They also always tend to sign in the same place.

When I got a 14/15 shirt signed for my lad, Doherty complained to those with him that someone had taken his space and so squeezed 'MD2' into a smaller gap than he wanted. It went alongside 'MD2' that was already in his space...

I thought it said Shit Fanny tbh, which I thought was a bit harsh on Psycho.😃

Did he see anyone sign it? From my untrained eye they could all be written by the same person as they all look a little too neat.
 
John Paskin one of them?
I think they are as follows

1) Keith "Shit Fanny" Downing
2) Ally Robertson
3) Tom Bennett
4) Shane Westley
5) John Paskin
6) Paul McLoughlin (His sig was elsewhere so able to realise the guy really couldn't be arsed after the M in his surname)
7) The mystery player

They would have been done outside the ground on a match day or at a Milford Cricket event
