John de Wolf

[Bostin]

Was at the game today, can’t believe they didn’t get him on the pitch!

 

[Big Mack]

Love that guy.

 

[fungusdabogeyman]

To be fair as much as i loved him he aint no Andy Mutch!

 

[Shifnal Wolf]

Spot on pal

 

[Darvo]

What a player this bloke was. Such a shame he got injured when he did. Incredible presence on the pitch. Great hat trick at Port Vale

 

[Deleted member 5276]

Fabulous player and personality. Good to see him back at Mol. #PortVale

 

[freezin]

To be fair that could be anyone.

I dont deny it is JDW, just drives it home that age and time are a bitch.

 

[Deak77]

Wouldn't have been able to have heard a word he said anyway,the PA system is still shocking.

 

[E is for idiot.]

Thought he had died when I saw this then.

 

[Burton Wolf]

As much as I like Sunderland, **** them, that was a night in the press box

As much as I loved De Wolf, he wouldn't get on ahead of Boly, Coady and Bennett.

Might have stood a chance last season under Lambert though.

 

[Deleted member 4008]

Imagine a fully fit de wolf in his prime at the back with Boly and Coady

Don't forget a fully fit Keith Curle,Joleon Lescott and Dean Richards too.

Mmmmm .... interesting one ..... I think fully fit he would certainly have run em close.

 

[Coffer Wolf]

A Bull upfront and a Wolf at the back..........

 

[Pelsallwolf]

Always remember the once he was out injured,ended up sitting by him and and he asked for my mars when I was young lol great bloke,great banter.

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

The Willy Boly of his day.

Shame he got injured so badly, would have been a true legend if he’d have had 3-4 years.

That game at Port Vale...

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

 

[Adrian_Monk]

Stood in front of the opposition keeper on corners, nobody dared challenge him, other than the **** Lee Howey who took a night off playing football to injure all our best players.

 

[RJs Tankard]

John De Wolf and Gordon Cowans look the same age now as they did back then.

 

[waveney wolf]

He d walk into our team now.
Watched him warming up once,jumping and heading....man mountain,and he could play

 

[Axle]

Was he the pen taker then? Not sure if l would have gone for him, but who knows.

Interestingly didn’t de Wolf foul an England player in Graham Taylor’s last game as England manager? Bit strange he ended up signing him.

Not sure if l am right. Please correct me if l’m wrong?

So he could get his hat trick

Definitely. He could have played the Coady role at a canter.

 

[Deleted member 5276]

Players don't know they are born today given the state of the pitches back then.

 

[Darvo]

Definitely. He could have played the Coady role at a canter.

He was absolutely made for the sweeper role. He had the knack/ability to almost dominate a game single handedly. Think Nuno would have loved him.

He was the best passer of a ball in that team. Some of his long balls out to the wings directly into the path of a running teammate were outstanding. Terrific player and I agree, Nuno would have loved him.

 

[Axle]

Didn’t Keane take a pen and missed to get his hat trick vs Norwich?

Strange to let a player get a hat trick when only a goal ahead. Guess it was different then.

John De Wolf had taken pens for us before. If I remember rightly he took one against Sheffield United when we came back from 2 nil down.

Brilliant player. I remember seeing him playing for Feyenoord against Spurs in the Uefa or Cup Winners Cup before we signed him. He was awesome, couldn't believe it when he joined us. Think Don Goodman signed on the same day too.

Yepp he did but it was Sheff Wed and we were 3-0 down!!

You've missed Frankie Munro, the best of the lot.

 

[Jonzy54]

Goes without saying .I was really driving at players who could have been awesome for us if injuries hadn't taken over.

The Keane penalty miss was the last game of the season v Stockport. Meaningless game but after Keane missed Stockport came back to beat us 4-3. How times have changed ( they finished above us that year)

League game mate, not the cup shoot out. Think Neil Emblen scored the equaliser in the dying moments of the Sheffield United game. Seem to remember it being around Christmas/New Year.

Tony Dinning was class that day.

Remember that game clearly, and how empty the ground was when we came back. Proof if needed you should never leave early

JDW did score the penalty, don’t remember him being the regular penalty taker though?

 

[Newbridge Wolf]

Incidentally, I do prefer those old style goalnets compared to the modern box type ones.

Small thing I know, just love the look of them.

That’s it, l remember it was a game we should have won, but didn’t. Keane pen saved in front of the NB.

Yes, you’re right, how things have changed. I don’t know even where Stockport are in the pyramid now . . .
