Some of his quotes when managing Wolves were very funny, but didn't seem funny at all to most Wolves fans. It seemed disrespectful at the time.Not my favourite Wolves manager but always sad to see an old name pass on. RIP
The problem is we ended up with most of our better players out on loan .We had a reasonable front 2 in Tommy Langley and Jim Melrose .Then it went belly up when Langley was sent out on loan and Melrose was recalled by City because we couldn’t afford the fee (£25K? £40K£)He was on a hiding to nothing when he joined, we were a sinking ship and he had a bucket with holes in it. Can’t blame him for our plight. Anyone who followed Wolves at that time can truly consider themselves’ supported through thick and thin’.
RIP The Doc.
Melrose was scoring for fun, I remember we couldn’t afford him and he wanted to stay. Didn’t he go to Charlton and scored loads?The problem is we ended up with most of our better players out on loan .We had a reasonable front 2 in Tommy Langley and Jim Melrose .Then it went belly up when Langley was sent out on loan and Melrose was recalled by City because we couldn’t afford the fee (£25K? £40K£)
I remember playing Wimbledon in the New Year and we were 3-1 up ,Winterburn was LB for them and it ended up 3-3.
As things got worse I don’t think we won another game before we were Relegated.It was so depressing losing week after week and I know it ultimately would get even worse ,it didn’t seem so at the time .It was horrible,

Spooky how we posted similar timeRemember being at the Brighton game, with our youngest daughter, when we lost and confirmed our relegation to Div 3.
There were only a few hundred of us in the corner of their old ground. We were all very upbeat and singing away, despite our impending demise .
Shouting across to Tommy, sitting in the away dug out: "Tommy, Tommy give us a wave etc etc"
To which of course he duly obliged.
Fond memories, despite our perilous state at that time .
RIP Tommy.
On arrival at Molineux...
“I opened the trophy cabinet and three Japanese prisoners of war fell out !!”
You gorra laugh ..( though not at the time!)
Yes that's the one.I remember the away game at Brighton, Tim Flowers saved Frank Worthington penalty and it broke his wrist, think it was re taken anyway. We lost 5-1 to blooming Brighton (I lived in Sussex at time) but The Doc came over at end ... I was only 16/17 at time so all a bit vague
I remember a conga on the terrace that dayYes that's the one.
As you rightly say, spooky that we posted at the same time, about the same match that we attended, without us knowing that the other was there.
The Wolves Family moves in mysterious ways, its wonders to perform!
All the best for 2021 Hazza.
