Going off track a bit but does anyone remember a game we played against Cardiff, probably in the late 60's. I was there and seem to remember the score was 7-0 to us and I think it was Bobby Thompson scored from near the halfway line. If anyone can tell me the score and date I would be much obliged.

21 september 1966, in the old league division 2 (what is now called 'the championship'), wolves won 7-1 against cardiff at the molineux

I was at the game, 7-1 was correct. Piggy Wharton scored a hat trick (2 from penalties). If I remember rightly we also beat Portsmouth 8-2 in the previous season 6-0 at half time so we definitely took the foot off the pedal 2nd half, Holsgrove, Woodruff and Macilmoyle scored 2 each.
On a separate point does anyone remember Dave Woodruff sending Mike Summerbee about 6 rows up into the stand in the 1-2 loss against Man City in August 65? Sent off of course and was the 1st Wolves player to be sent off in a league game for 29 years.

Thanks for your answers. Macilmoyle was one of my favourite players because of his salmon like jumps.

Koanmel, I think that was Dave Woodfield not Dave Woodruff, but yes he was knocked a few rows up the old molineux street stand, If I recall the whistle had already gone but none of them heard it, Summerbee backed up Dave Woodfield later over it
