[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah, until about 1985.

The Enclosure. Where I cut my teeth before graduating to the North Bonk.

Yeah (plus we didn't need either open anyway, we were struggling to get 4k through the gate)

April 1984 apparently 0-3 at home to Ipswich old division 1

 

[lemonjelly]

hadn't realised the 2 stands stayed open that long!

I remember going to my first away games in the 89/90 season and realising how many clubs had better grounds than us at the time.

Molineux grounds in 1880. You can see St Peter’s church and the Molineux hotel in the background and the (South) Bank.

Hello, I am a new member here and registered just for this to be honest. So my question is: Does Wolves have some sort of museum? I have a match programme from 1954 from Wolves v Honved game, with Honved players' autographs. I have had this for like 20 years, and I decided that it should be somewhere else than in my cupboard. I sent email to National Football Museum, and they will decide about it later on (they have Puskas exhibition), but if they are not interested, is there someway to contact the club about this?

 

[Kenny]

Club has a museum.

Probably easier to email the info@wolves.co.uk address and they will pass it on.

Great piece of club history that - sends shivers down the spine of those of us around at the time

A much extended highlights of our home match against Tesco's in March 2001 came up on my YouTube channel today. It was at a time when I wasn't watching/following much football. I was surprised what a good player Ndah really was. Commentator mentioned that the previous season Carbon broke his leg, He scored 2 and Pollet scored the 3rd. Surprisingly Muscat didn't stand out as a dirty player !!!

George Ndah was excellent. That goal at PNE is still one of the best I've seen live.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

His debut against Port Vale at home - if you asked 1,000 people who didn't know the answer to start with, all 1,000 would have picked him as the £3.5m player and Akinbiyi as the £1m player.

He was one of my favourites, great player. Shame how injuries affected his time here

Surprised to see he was with us for 7 years.
