38 (THIRTY EIGHT)!!

I know, it's weird, I still think of them as 'recent' players.

I know, it's weird, I still think of them as 'recent' players.

I remember the picture in the E&S when we signed them and not having a clue who either of them were!

38 years ago yesterday:

Thommo definitely had an uphill paper-round.

Wasn't he only 19 or something when he signed for us?

Would have been better if they had bother worn Wolves shirts for the reconstruction

Only just turned 19 as well.

The tache added years to him.

1994, tache, when he was 26:

Still 1994, no tache

And sometimes we get games called off because of snow when there isn't even any snow...

Doc’s penalty holy fuck

Not that he ever changed much, but he couldn’t possibly have looked less bothered, the weirdo

Easily the worst penalty I've ever seen from a Wolves player. That view doesn't do justice to how far wide it went.

Is that from the last game of the season 12 May 1980 when we beat Forest 3-1?

No, we only wore the three leaping wolves for the first few games of the season before it was replaced with the first wolf head badge kit.

Does anyone know why the wolf head badge kit wasn't worn at the start of the 1979-80 season?
