Geoff Thomas from <10% of the back of his head is impressive

It's Shirtliff behind Froggy, 100%.

Yeah definitely Shirtliff , I remember Greavsie making what would now be some very inappropriate "comedy" comments about Shirtliff's name and me not having a clue what he meant back then.

That has got to be Thomas's hair and his number 8, his stance too

The other one is Eric somebody.

The Feathers on North Street, below the 'original' Molineux.

The old south was dirty, smelly, wet and uncomfortable but still loved going on there as a kid in the late 80’s early 90’s whether it was being left at the front by my dad or stood with him on my beer crate near the back.

Cheers, as quick and impressive as I'd expected!

You want your pointless 80s/90s/00s knowledge then you come here. It's of zero value but you'll get an answer off one of us

 

[Tredman]

That is definitely Geoff Thomas too. Guy had magnificent shoulders.

If you'd have told me that before I saw that photo, I'd have thought you were making it up.

Now I'm a Believer.

Great series of pics Leeds! I met Frank Taylor's son 20+ years ago when he was in a senior role at Midlands Elec. He told me he used to visit Stan Cullis periodically (Cullis was obv pretty old at the time we spoke as he died in 2001). I lent him the Wolves edition of the World of Football mags I was given by my Uncle and though I think he returned it I must have misplaced it, maybe in a house move, as its the only one missing. #pisser.

as an aside, someone else i've worked with had an Uncle who played in goal for Crewe when Spurs beat them 13-2 in 1960. when i looked up the Crewe edition I did find a reference to the game and a comment presumably from his Uncle on the game. it was "I might have saved the ninth" which I was delighted to pass on to him lol. (he was a Derby County fan).

You know you’re getting old when you can name all those players

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

For those who like to feel old, it's 19 years today since we sacked Dave Jones.

If true about Old Trafford's biggest crowd, that's a great quiz question

OT in 1939 was probably in a better state of repair back then than it's current version.

Yep, it's true. OT's lowest attendance is for a 2nd division fixture between Leicester and Stockport. Official attendance - 13!

Isn't that banable?

I use it all the time as a quiz Question and also to wind UTD's fans up

"When is that Wolves v Grimsby at Old Trafford question due?"
