Reminds me of last Saturday/ Sunday.I was there!!!
Freezing January day, came over on the all night ferry from Dublin to Liverpool, train down from Lime Street!!
Then shortly after final whistle did the reverse!
Effectively you were travelling non stop from 10.15 pm on Friday night until 7 am return to Dublin Port on Sunday morning…. apart from the few hours around the match itself!!
But i loved it !!!

Sure is! Eagle eyesAs this was a pre-season game is that referee a young Jack Taylor of 1974 World Cup Final fame ?
Hey, pack that in!Love it, a time when cyclists did not all think they had to dress like Bradley Wiggins or Chris Hoy regardless of their physique !!!!
I’m sure that commentary is wrong. Richards scored the first and third with Eves getting the second.Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Swindon Town - League Cup Semi Final Second Leg - 1980

Always has beenDerek Parkin
. When he was signed from Huddersfield Town in 1968, the fee of £80,000 was a record for a full-back.

It's a great question worthy of a thread of it's own Which of our former strikers would most fit in with todays team and who would be worth the most?
I would say about the same as Romario who at 58 is coming out of retirement to play along side of his son.
If they were in their prime today then serious money. At their current ages rather less so lol....
By the look of him, and on a suitable bike, The King could probably climb the Niagara escarpment's trickiest climbs.If they were in their prime today then serious money. At their current ages rather less so lol....
Crikey, just think how many ecstatic celebrations these two have given us Wolves fans over the years?! We should be bowing down to these two legends.
A physical, powerful finisher like Bully would be worth 50 million these days. Could be wrong, I obviously never saw him play. If you disagree, call it sentimental value!
John Holsgrove left Wolves in 1971 - he did not play against Leeds in the 1973 FA Cup semi-final - the picture is around the mid to late 60sView attachment 41927

Regardless of the level, the man was a God on that hallowed turf! Any generation of supporter should know that.He would be worth a damn sight more than that one season wonder overrated Norwegian Diddy Haaland as Bully went through the 50 goal barrier in consecutive seasons
Okay it was a couple of leagues lower but I refuse to let technicality get in the way of my ' Truth '
Much as l loved Bully he'd have to massively change his playing style in today's game which might make him less effective. Otherwise he'd be a red card magnet to the PGMOL clowns.A physical, powerful finisher like Bully would be worth 50 million these days. Could be wrong, I obviously never saw him play.

Correct!!John Holsgrove left Wolves in 1971 - he did not play against Leeds in the 1973 FA Cup semi-final - the picture is around the mid to late 60s
