Many happy matches in that seething mass on the South Bank. It was a shit hole but it was our shit hole and it was ace.

To score all those goals with no right arm is so impressive

That's a great pic, a real shame that we didn't get Bully at his peak with Keane.

However, we will always have the Barnet game.

They looked mustard together at the start of that season. Won our first four in the league and should have made it five out of five, we were 2-0 up at home to Stockport and chucked it. Fernando Gomez pulling the strings.

Then Bully was done by early October, only managed a handful of sub appearances at the very end of the season before retiring. In our infinite wisdom we decided the best tactic in his absence would be to hoof it at a physically developing Keano and 4'3'' David Connolly, with a bit of Guy Whittingham miles past his best chucked in on loan.

Halcyon days. I love old pictures of Molineux but the late eighties era was just fucking magic. Nothing beat going in those turnstiles.

Still tickles me just how far the pitch was from the John Ireland.

The thing is it was like that for ages! And they made people pay more to sit in it.

Yeah years, I remember playing for the schoolboys (probably '90 or '91) and we played Port Vale at Bantock Park, thrashed them 10-1. We got entry to the John Ireland free for playing, we were losing 3-1 to Vale and pulled it back to 3-3, a few of us jumped the front of the stand and were legging it round the open bit for ages celebrating after the equaliser, the stewards couldn't catch us and the game just carried on as we were nowhere near it

Hated that game, I always stood in the South Bank with me dad but had to go in the John Ireland for that one.

i only went in there once (fa cup game as a treat - 1-1 norwich). even as a kid it felt like it was a weird 'don't do this again' experience. like watching the game through the wrong end of binoculars.

they used to have a bit of entertainment going on in the gap, pre-match, maybe half time. i seem to recall a motorcycle display but as i'm getting old i could just be making it up.

Often had kids 6-a-side there.

Pretty sure it was the white helmets display team

Used to queue up to get in the family enclosure with my lads before the gates opened so we could get on the halfway line.
It was fucking ages before the kickoff and there was always a kids game
before the kick off.
Halcyon days, no prematch Golden Glow just a flask of coffee.

Some ITK posted this on Twitter, few decent players there:

Saw that posted somewhere yesterday pointing out Collymore on the back row

I saw Stanley play for Wolves at Chasetown in a pre season friendly. Bully also played as it was only up the road and fancied it
