I have a lifelong mate who's Dad grew up in Kidderminster where of his best friends was Kevin Keelan. Kevin Keelan actually started at The Harriers before joining Villa. Made some incredible amount of appearances for Norwich City.

I'm right with you on that one. Couldn't sleep at all last night, was up until the early hours looking at pictures of Molineux from years gone by.

Strangely comforting to know that so many people have followed Wolves before my time and will continue to long after my time's up. Suppose those kind of thoughts are quite common at three in the morning though!

Hmmm..... Him being a noser would explain a lot lol....

Probably only new to me but, If you right click on pic then press “Search for web image”, this came up from that pic,

Ranked! The 30 most-hated teams ever in British football

10th. Wolves, 1937/38

Ranked! The 30 most hated ever teams in British football: 30-21

Cheats, thugs, hoofers and - worst of all - winners. Bloody winners. FFT counts down the most loathed teams in the history of British football. Bring on the hate...

“If you didn’t like his style you’d very soon be on your bicycle to another club,” future Wolves manager Stan Cullis later said of Molineux supremo Major Frank Buckley. The Somme veteran, who didn’t suffer fools gladly, ensured that Wolves adopted a far more direct and aggressive approach to games - so much so that they were banned from a 1937 pre-season tour due to their ‘over-vigorous’ play the previous season.

Buckley also enjoyed garnering attention in the press and, following a meeting with chemist Menzies Sharp, allowed his players to undergo a four-month course of 12 injections taken from monkey glands.

Despite rumours persisting that it was simply a placebo, Wolves emerged as a rising force in the game during the late 1930s, by fair means or foul.
Chief villain: Buckley offered his crestfallen players a stinging rebuke after they narrowly missed out on the title in 1938. “The Major told us only conscientious objectors and men of poor character cried,” striker Dicky Dorsett later said. “He told us to sit in silence for a while and pull ourselves together.”

Ah yeah, but don't forget the mobile phone I took the pic on wasn't invented until at least 110 yrs after I took that picture,
they said a camera in a phone would never take off,
suppose it was a bit big to carry around on me bike
