I can name everyone of them straight away. Not sure I could for many squads since.

Which is significantly more than the magazine the picture came from.

Before my time. I recognised McAlle, Dougan, Parkes, Munro, Knowles, Bailey, Parkin and Wagstaffe.

Knowles always looks like a right cheeky bugger, makes what happened even more surreal

He was. A real icon of sixties culture, women, nice cars, bit of a flash bugger. As you say a real shock how he turned away from it all.

Right at the start of my Wolves journey. Hughie Curran in there? Would have thought Bobby Gould would have been in there, guess it was just before he signed.

Gould signed in June 1970. That team photo is the 69/70 team picture. Knocker's last game was 6 September 1969 (2 weeks before my 15th birthday).

Ive got a very vague memory of Rod Arnold beong in goal in one of my first games, could that be possible? Maybe Lofty injured?

I don't think Arnold played a competitive game for Wolves tbh.

Not a surprise my memory letting me down

I was at that game, drew 3-3 with Nottingham Forest, kicked off a bit at the end.
Peter Knowles was outside our house a couple of years ago, I told him he broke my heart when he packed it in.

Yeah, I was at the game. Wolves 3-0 up too. Broke my heart too. Knocker is still my favourite all-time Wolves player.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

An unfailingly lovely gentleman whenever I met him in M&S.

I'm just glad he found peace, whatever that means to him.

Reminds me of the surname of a delegate on one of the courses I ran:

Kenney-Herbert

I recognise the chap on the far right. Regular in The Hatherton I think.

Was there a bin strike that week?

 

[Tredman]

Must be a mistake, there was no such thing as litter in the good old days

The guy on the front 3rd from the left is a very good friend of mine.
