Wolves at Cambridge on 2nd November 1982 in the old second division

Wolves lost 2-1 that day. I always went to The Abbey when Wolves came to town and we never seemed to get any joy. Wasn’t sure if the memory misery was distorted by going with United mates and being in the home areas or if it was actually that bad. Was normally sat in the Mainstand but the highlight though was definitely going mad in the home Newmarket Road end when Bully rattled in an equaliser after getting dogs abuse all game in about ‘92.

A quick google says 5 Abbey games, 2 losses, 3 draws, no wins.
Molineux games included = 4 losses, 4 draws, 2 wins.

Played each other regularly over a 10 season period, last league meeting now 32 years ago when the Clubs took opposite trajectories with the over-achieving John Beck leaving CU and the club falling into eventual administration, and Sir Jack pulling us out of the mire.

Lots of water under the bridge since then but seems like yesterday.

All joking apart I actually enjoyed some of Docs performances at that time (also Traore). Amazing what can be achieved if you put an 'average' player in a team full of good uns.

When we had a tough away game and a temporary manager (Colin Lee) took over after a sacking (McGhee)..

When we had a tough away game and a temporary manager (Colin Lee) took over after a sacking (McGhee)..

Also - I don't think we EVER came from conceding first to win a league game under McGhee. Like literally never. In nearly 3 years.

Big Col wins 6-1 from 1-0 down in his first game.

I would dispute Bristol City being "tough" though They were awful that season plus we have a truly ludicrous record against them. We've beaten them 5-1 and 4-1 at Ashton Gate in my time as well as that one, Bully scored more against them than any other team and they last won at Molineux in 1931.

I mean they are not Chelsea away tough (and that was what i was trying to suggest by hope of something happening tomorrow...), and as you say our record against then back then was brilliant.

But still, we'd look at it as tough next season if we are there with them.....

His contract expired at the end of 95/96, so that bit isn't right
