There's something very special about this picture.

Yes. There’s a bloke at the back. I’d swear that he works in Bob Carolgees candle shop in Cheshire.

I think I can remember reading the gates were stored to be used in the future presumably at the museum.

It's well OT, but I think
Benny, Jeff Lynne, Dixon of Dock Green for a start!

The old ones are still going strong at Grimsby, unbelievably.

Amazing. I went to Grimsby away (with Doreen & May) in the early 80's. I never knew legacy Wolves floodlights were on display.

I was in the North bank that night
Heartbreaking, don’t think I spoke to anyone for a week after that

I was in the North Bank the night we played Liverpool in 1976 losing 1-3 and getting relegated with their 3 goals in the last 15 minutes. Pretty sure Steve Kindon put us 1-0 up on around 10 minutes or so. All goals at the South Bank end. Literally packed in like sardines. No idea how nobody died at Molineux that night.

Our May relegation wasnt the only heartbreak in that 75-76 season. A few weeks earlier we lost 2-3 AET to Man Utd in a packed Molineux midweek FA Cup Quarter final replay. That time we were 2-0 up after about 10 minutes and looked sure to be heading into a semi final with Derby. That night Kindon and Richards scored our early goals (I think) also at the South Bank end before Man Utd slowly clawed it all back. I think we were set to play Derby in the cup semi final. Man Utd went on to lose 0-1 in the final to 2nd Division Southampton. What might have been!

Unrelated but our game at Newcastle this coming Saturday is exactly 50 years to the day after we beat Man City 2-1 to win the 1974 League Cup Final. Those Were The Days!

Even back then, we preferred a small squad.

Pressman’s penalty still one of the best I’ve ever seen power wise.

Up there with Chloe Kelly’s and some of Shearer’s.

Agreed, and sorry to go off thread, but do you remember Francis Lee and his penalty kicks. He had a run up a fast bowler would have been proud of and kicked the ball as hard as he could. As I recall, he usually scored as well.

Nope, but before my time but I’ll try and find one on youtube

Molineux and one of the finest players to grace the hallowed turf. That Jehovah witness who knocked on his door has a lot to answer for…

Didn't Geoff Palmer have the same technique? Run up from the halfway line and **** it as hard as he could in the general direction of the goal. seem to remember him putting one over the top of the North Bank once against Spurs unless my memory fails me?

Yes ‚‘Zico’ had the same technique. Though wasn’t it Waggy who put a penalty over the north bank? I’m not sure though.

Those vehicles were often parked inside football grounds years ago. How the windscreen never went through courtesy of a miss timed volley, I'll never know.

Given their notorious instability l would half expect a ball hitting one to topple it over.
