Wolves History Thread

Eight years ago today. How many of that XI get into the current team? I'll say all of them apart from Benno (only because I'd put Saiss back into the back three, and one of the current Brazilians in midfield, flip a coin) and Leo.

Yes I'd even take 2017 Doc over 2025 Doc, Hoever or Tchatchoua.

Ruddy; Bennett, Coady, Boly; Doherty, Saiss, Neves, Douglas; Cavaleiro, Bonatini, Jota.

 
13 December 2014, Leon Clarke scores the only goal for his former/current club against his former club, coming on as a second half substitute for Danny Graham.

On this day in 1946...
Dennis Westcott scored 4 goals for the second consecutive game. Making his tally 22 goals in 19 games so far for the season and a 5-0 win.

Had a very impressive goal record and scored 5 in 4 for the England wartime team.

"To be honest I wish it wasn't happening now...."

A bit of interesting history after the FA Cup weekend:-

In a peculiar quirk of fate, the last non-league side to knock out the FA Cupholders were a Palace team then playing in the Southern League that defeated Wolves after a replay in January 1909. They lost 9-0 to Burnley in the next round in what remains their record defeat in the competition.
 
What year would that be? I had a few of them on Topps football cards, Holsgrove, Woodfield, Doog, Waggy...I was only a nipper 🙂 so I'm guessing '68/69?
