Best headlines about Wolves

[Axle]

I’m sure there are many gems over the years about Wolves winning and losing where words have been used in creative ways.

Mine was a league match v Watford which was unusual because Mutch scored two and Bull only one.

The CEEFAX headline was:

‘Two Mutch Bull for sad Watford’

So what’s your favourite headline about Wolves?

 

[Lobo de Ouro]

I always remember "Rotherham bother 'em" after losing (or maybe drawing) against Rotherham in our league one campaign.... that's pretty good.

 

[Glass ankles]

Can't remember what I had for dinner yesterday, let alone press headlines

 

[Air Wolf 90]

I think there was a third division game where the scorers were Downing, Streete, Mutch, Bull which at least one newspaper used as their headline. Some headlines write themselves.

 

[Wolf 82]

I think it was after the playoff semi-final against Reading that the headline was “a Rae of Light..” not a great headline.. but I remember feeling great when I read it.

KING JOHN

"It's Ours" in the Pink Un (?) when we won the cup in1949. Got it in the loft somewhere.

 

[oldgolded]

I well remember the headline describing the newly formed strike partnership of Andy Gray and John Richards just after we had beaten Arsenal 2-3 at Highbury.
'Nitro and Glycerin - And they go together with a bang'

 

[Pagey]

 

[RedFlagWolf]

Well before my time but I suspect the headline ‘Wolves, champions of the world’ will take some beating…even if it was in the Daily Mail!

Link below from the Guardian is a decent read!

[Sirstancullis]

'Division One Rubbish In Tatty Orange Shirts', when we started our promotion season poorly under DJ and had Doritos as our sponsor. Also 'Champions of the World' in our 50's heyday.

The pink or the cup?

 

[Boss Hogg]

“Wolves rocked by Stancliffe howler” -early 90s following a 5-0 home defeat by Barnsley

You needed to see it to believe it.

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

It quiets a headline but best banner at the League Cup Final……

McGovern wouldn’t you rather be Emlyn

“Wolves rocked by Stancliffe howler” -early 90s following a 5-0 home defeat by Barnsley

You needed to see it to believe it.

I was there. Probably the worst l’ve seen Wolves play.

The following week was even worse. Bill hattrick put us 3-0 up at HT against Oxford and then they drew 3-3.

Set the tone for a decade of underperformance
