Best standout performance from a Wolves player?

[Mutchy]

We have threads for opposition players, so what are the most outstanding performances by Wolves players? Ones for good reasons!

 

[WasStefan]

In my lifetime Jota v Utd in the FA Cup

Before my time, Bully at Newcastle on NYD?

I’m sure there are plenty of defensive performances that have gone completely under the radar, especially during Mick’s seasons in the PL… again my lifetime

 

[SA Wolf]

Helder Costa vs Liverpool in the FA Cup at Anfield (the Stearman game). Was brilliant that day.

 

[Beastier]

Tony Dinning's debut has to be up there....

 

[Huge of Sharjah]

.

Thought Adama vs City was very enjoyable.

.

 

[SmokeyGB]

Adlène Guedioura - on his home debut against Spurs on a bloody cold night was some debut.​

[Bogota Wolf]

Good question. Here's two that I was privileged to attend:

Steve Bull in self-admitted hangover mode scoring four at Newcastle...

Or perhaps a little earlier:

Ken Hibbitt with four from midfield against Newcastle in the 4-2 victory.

“That game, for me, is right up there with the two League Cup finals,” Hibbitt told us today.

“I’m just sorry that there’s no TV footage of it. I have got some photos of the goals but not many games were televised in those days.

“I remember our kid coming up to me at the end and saying: ‘I’m gutted that we’ve lost but, if we had to, I’m glad you scored them all.’ Then he rounded it off by calling me a little bleeder!

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

David Wagstaffe v Spurs, Football League Cup, September 3rd 1969 at Molineux. 1-0.

Played Spurs on his own that night!

But then again, Wagstaffe was magic.

Was that the 20 pass + game where Dave Jones sweeped home?

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Going back a few years, but in the 70's Wolves beat Newcastle United 4 - 2 at Molineux. Kenny Hibbitt scored all four Wolves goals. One of the best individual performances I have seen from a Wolves player

 

[superwolves]

Bully v Newcastle new years day 1990 the stuff of legends

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

I've said it before, but one that always sticks in my mind is Bully at Maine Rd. Absolute backs to the wall for the whole game, played on his own and chased everything all afternoon. Got one chance and smashed it in for a 0-1. Champagne Supernova on the way out. Happy day.

 

[Mighty Thor]

Ronnie Keane debut?

 

[glorybox]

David Connolly 4 goals away to Bristol City. So much about they match that was ridiculous. No manager, Guy the soldier returning, Connolly hadn’t scored a goal for us after being with us for months. Then there was the surreal sight of a scrap between 4 animal character mascots.

 

[glorybox]

Ronnie Keane debut?

1940’s..?

 

[we love jez moxey]

Andy Keogh in our first away game back in the prem against Wigan? He was like a man possessed!!!

 

[Arcadius]

Doogs home debut hat trick v Hull City!

 

[Jonzy54]

Obviously there have been several but I am going to throw in Michael Branch in a night game at Barnsley .He played up top with Ketsbaia and the reason I chose him was because he was simply outstanding and it’s not often ,if at all,you see the away fans give him the standing ovation he got when we was substituted

 

[Arcadius]

Robbie Keans debut 2 goals v Norwich!

 

[JR WAS KING]

.

Thought Adama vs City was very enjoyable.

.

Also Adama against Spurs when they took turns to foul him. He was unplayable, but we still lost

What a night! Adama was pretty impressive in that game too! Didn't go to Cardiff, but those who did both must have had the greatest concentration of drama in a few days ever.

 

[Fenrir_]

Dean Richards, Spurs away

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

Neves vs Leicester 4-3

 

[steve vena]

Neves vs Leicester 4-3

Jota for finishing it all off.

 

[ewarwoowar]

David Wagstaffe v Spurs, Football League Cup, September 3rd 1969 at Molineux. 1-0.

Played Spurs on his own that night!

But then again, Wagstaffe was magic.

also Waggy when we beat Chelsea 3-0 at home with a depleted team,the **** away 4-2,Huddersfield away 2-1 many moons ago.you can go on and on about Waggy,what a player

 

[Bill McCai]

Geoff Thomas - Wolves 3 Bristol City 1 August 1993.

 

[NewOrder306]

Phil Parkes at Old Trafford FA Cup 1076. Lofty was a giant . Got a draw but lost the reply (after being 2-0 up) Getting home unscathed was a challenge in those days as well!!. (Those indeed were the days !! )

 

[JonahWolf]

Recent times, for all-round performance, Neves against Newcastle. Seen the Leicester 4-3 mentioned, and yes those 2 passes were ridiculous, but he didn’t boss the whole game by himself then, otherwise they wouldn’t have scored 3.

Haven’t seen Bully’s hungover New Year’s Day miracle mentioned yet?
Edit: Missed Stefan’s early post.

 

[UEAwolf]

Kenny Miller v Newcastle in the FA Cup game

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Phil Parkes at Old Trafford FA Cup 1076. Lofty was a giant . Got a draw but lost the reply (after being 2-0 up) Getting home unscathed was a challenge in those days as well!!. (Those indeed were the days !! )

1076 was a special year for Wolves...

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

1076 was a special year for Wolves...

Was Norman there?

 

[tamwolf]

Trincao in the first half against Leeds last season.

 

[Highlandwolf2]

Tony Dinning's debut has to be up there....

Does your GP know your drugs are no longer working?......

 

[WickedWolfie]

Going back a few years, but in the 70's Wolves beat Newcastle United 4 - 2 at Molineux. Kenny Hibbitt scored all four Wolves goals. One of the best individual performances I have seen from a Wolves player

I was there - as you say an absolutely superb performance. Playing against his brother Terry doubtless made it better for Kenny.

What also sticks in my mind was 3-400 Geordies with a death wish who went and stood outside the North Bank looking for a fight....

 

[lets all have a disco]

Obviously a recent one, probably wasn't the best ever but he was absolutely tremendous Rayan Ait Nouri against Liverpool at home last season.....

But for context he was probably up against the best or one of the best players in that game on current form in the world.....

 

[berwickwolf]

Neves and Moutinho against Man Utd in the 1-0 home defeat last season. I thought they were awesome.

 

[berwickwolf]

Obviously a recent one, probably wasn't the best ever but he was absolutely tremendous Rayan Ait Nouri against Liverpool at home last season.....

Fantastic performance

 

[Minimalist]

Couple of seasons ago Moutinho v spurs. The home game we ended up losing right at the end.

 

[ewarwoowar]

i remember a night game years ago when Derby were champions and we won 4-0,on that night Frank Munro was immense as he was on many occasions
