Nice to see some of the old players mentioned. Frank Monroe, great player. I think I he came from Scotland as a centre forward but Bill McGarry thought he would make a better centre half. Spot on Bill. Ernie Hunt, Peter Knowles and later Willie Carr and Alan Sunderland. My first visit to. the Mol. was when I was about 10 and living in Redditch. I went with a friend by train but the journey was a blank. I remember walking down a passage so we could have been on the South Bank. Remember we had a great either Peter Broadbent or NormanDeeley.

We could talk all day about Wolves great players. I fondly remember some not-so-greats who were very effective when playing together. Chris Crowe and Alan Hinton come to mind. A newspaper headline after a West Ham match praised them as 'the cast-off and the kid'.

Deep sadly there gave been far more of them - not greats - than greats over my time - since late 60s- particularly in the 80s when we had the 3 relegations in a row.
But you adjust - I remember "battles" with Colchester, Peterborough, Scarborough and the like in Div 4 as was and cheering on Floyd Streete (nobody's great) etc - just as passionately as I had John Richards and our Div 1 teams of the 70s and now Conor Coady and our Prem team of the 2020s.
Watching in crowds of a few thousand not the 30k + we had in the 70s or now days
I'm sure most of us older guys on here are the same - some of us may get mad - v mad - and moan - a lot - if we lose but the support continues.
Maybe its the pain that makes pleasure just so sweet and the slightest drop off - like this year - so hard to take.
But next year will be great because the future is old gold! (hopefully! )

Wasn’t this history why fans rejected the Super League?
Every club down to those at grass roots level have their own history.
We are fortunate at Wolves to have gone through fantastic times and bad times! However that’s what makes the game what it is!
My first game was under the lights watching Honved play Wolves on the South Bank.

Agree with earlier post about Chris Crowe and Alan Hinton, they did play well together. I was at the match at West Ham in 1962 when they played a big part in the 4-1 win. Could be the match the report referred to. Wolves got off to a great start that season.

From full house to 3000 under the Bhattis.
