Wolves History Thread

Amazing how short he is, looks about 5ft6, 5ft 7 there.

Williams was 5'-9", which would've been above average height for his generation.

A 'new' acquisition

I witnessed Mel Eves's debut match, I'll have you know...

I've been "managed" by Mel Eves in a charity game.

Jürgen Klopp he ain't.

Ah OK, my mistake, we always parked in side streets on the Waterloo road side. I guess the housing design was pretty similar on all sides of the ground.

I have seen that shot before. It’s a great pic. The thing I always wonder is where does the Feathers sit in that group of streets. I don’t think it is the corner building with a billboard.

I thought it was Dunkley Street, until I saw the street sign. I used to live there as a student - very handy for match days.

The white corner shop is junction of North Street and Dawson Street (see previous image post #367). It was a newsagent. At the top of North Street was the Gladstone pub.

The (Plume of) Feathers is on North Street. The Fox (later the Wanderer) was on the junction of North Street and Molineux Street IIRC.

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

I found a question of sport football quiz game from the mid 90s in a charity shop. One of the cover photos is Wolves vs Man Utd (from pre-season ‘94, I think).
Any ID on the Wolves players?

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

It's Shirtliff behind Froggy, 100%.
