Might have been Colin's first game as a Football League manager though?
Can anyone post it please?

Next to Waggy is Mike O’Grady (not John Farley)
Neil Edwards. Didn't play much as he got injured, i forget who against, then when over that some other tosspiece broke him again. Mutch and Bull had arrived by the time he was back so that was the end of that.Who is he?!
always remember him being assaulted by the flying pig at liverpoolThe guy between Bernard Shaw and Bobby Gould is Paul Walker ,he didn’t play too often. Back in the nineties I got in a taxi in Leeds and the driver said he used to play for the Wolves and was somewhat surprised when I said I remember him and actually saw him play .
I remember that tooalways remember him being assaulted by the flying pig at liverpool
and the ref doing nothing
I watched most of his games for us and he was a class above most of his team-mates in our Division 3 season on the way to the 4th (although that doesn't say much)! We signed him from Kingswinford I think for peanuts on the Thursday before our first game of the season at Brentford away (we signed John Purdie as well at the same time) and both went into the side given that we had no one else ; we were very short of players as it was touch and go whether we would go into liquidation that summer. We had also sacked Ray Hankin for being (very) overweight. It was Walsall (at home) where he got clattered and injured and he was barely seen again.Neil Edwards.

I know his brother well as he lives in the village next to mine and we sometimes meet up to watch the TV games. I think one of the injuries was a result of a bad tackle by an ex-WBA player playing for Walsall?Neil Edwards.

When I saw Neil, I immediately thought of the other Neil, Neil Masters, who did not get much game time through injury.Neil Edwards.

Hi Waggy, hope you and your hat are well! Have you seen post 40 on here that Concourse put up?; if not you'll like that too!
A bit of an odd choice but I remember it sticking in my head. Raul turning up at Compton to meet the lads for the first time after his surgery

Cousins of mine, though for a few reasons, mainly me being a a bit of a **** in my youth, haven't seen or spoken to them in many a year.I know his brother well as he lives in the village next to mine and we sometimes meet up to watch the TV games.

LOL I'll have to ask him about his **** cousin to see if he can figure out who you areCousins of mine, though for a few reasons, mainly me being a a bit of a **** in my youth, haven't seen or spoken to them in many a year.
It was Steve Daley.I know his brother well as he lives in the village next to mine and we sometimes meet up to watch the TV games. I think one of the injuries was a result of a bad tackle by an ex-WBA player playing for Walsall?
Wow, I was thinking it was an ex-WBA player. I don't know if that makes it worse...It was Steve Daley.
I know. They went on to play together for Kettering and become mates.Wow, I was thinking it was an ex-WBA player. I don't know if that makes it worse...
It was definitely a different game then and I'm sure at that time the old 'uns would have said the game was soft compared to their days.I know. They went on to play together for Kettering and become mates.
Edwards seemed to accept that clattering someone on the half way line was just part of the game then.

I remember that Brentford away game, particularly as 2 Wolves fans had their Staffy dogs on the terrace.I watched most of his games for us and he was a class above most of his team-mates in our Division 3 season on the way to the 4th (although that doesn't say much)! We signed him from Kingswinford I think for peanuts on the Thursday before our first game of the season at Brentford away (we signed John Purdie as well at the same time) and both went into the side given that we had no one else ; we were very short of players as it was touch and go whether we would go into liquidation that summer.

Back in the day my son sponsored his kit in the programme (at my expense as he was aged about 10).out of all the great action and celebratory shots out there i have to choose the following...

Not surprising though. We support the club for the legends, and they're few and far between.3 posts so far, and despite us having our best side in 40 years, they all contain the same bloke from nigh on 30 years ago.
Talking of legends I am trying to think of which of our Managers asked/suggested for the framed photographs of the legends of the 50’s be removed in the areas beneath the Waterloo Rd stand .I remember there was a story and he said something like ‘the current players don’t need the reminder ,they should be making their own history’Not surprising though.
