18 years today since Hoddle played his final card of cowardice and scuttled away, while the nation was busy getting ready for a World Cup quarter final.

18 years today since Hoddle played his final card of cowardice and scuttled away, while the nation was busy getting ready for a World Cup quarter final.

And thus 18 years and a couple of days since he ensured we gave his brother a lengthy contract.

They say time is a great healer but where Hoddle is concerned 18 years barely scratches the surface.

As good a player as Hoddle was, as a person he was an absolute prick.

Always happy to share this on Hoddle from Teddy Sheringham

Didn’t know where to put this, ex wolves watch? Amusing photo watch? Anyway it’s here now.
Alan who we know loves loud terrible shirts, is already saying “shut up and take my money”

Take me back to when stadiums were death traps and only 3 clubs averaged more than 30k.

Young'uns will never know what it was like in Mar day!

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Funny that Albion take the piss out of our crowds back then, but they were only getting 9k when 2 tiers above us.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's the weakest ammo in the world.

When they went up in 2001/02 (entirely unexpected and their best season by a distance for a good 20 years) they didn't even average 21,000. They spent the 90s averaging around 15,000.

 

[Keef]

Same season as 500,000 wolves fans watched Chorley beat us in the FA cup, same accounting used for the 2000 SAS soldiers on the Iranian embassy balcony in 1981and the 100,000 who saw the sex pistols at the free trade hall in 76?

Chorley is a weird myth, I don't know anyone who was there.

Anyone going to pipe up from on here?

 

[Tony Towner]

I wasn't, I know people who were

I'll bite... first game at Notlob and the Mol replay...

Thankyou for posting this.

Back in the late 60s, early 70s I spent many happy hours outside those railings, waiting to get away team's autographs on match days and trying to get my whole club team pictures completely signed during pre-season training. Happy memories.

8 years ago Fosun brought the club. What a wild ride it has been
