Wolves Floyd Streete and Mark Kendall​

A good goalkeeper and a great character. He always had time for the fans.

Sadly, Mark was taken far too soon.

R.I.P. Mark.

Can any of our older supporters tell me about the experiences they've had following us? Maybe with some relevant pictures attached?

Would love to hear your stories.

Wolves v Coventry December 1966.

I would like to know if anyone on here watched the Wolves from the front of the South Bank and Waterloo Road stand in the time of some of these photos as looked to me like all you would see were 22 pairs of legs

Atleast they had a good view of the players genitals during throw-ins?

 

[WorcesterWanderer]

While they certainly won't be old for a long time, if I take any great photos tonight I will post them on this thread if I can- because at some point they will be old LOL. My first match will be sacred and I'd like to share it.

You missed out the North Bank Norman. I used to stand on there, and fairly near the front. As I recall I had a decent view of the pitch, but the problem was that when Wolves scored everyone ended up at the front. Goodness knows how no one was hurt.

Good days indeed.

When I first made it to the home of football I used to stand on the North Bank. Like you say it was a good view.

It makes me smile when the club send my emails telling me it is time I visited Molineux for the first time and I think " You cheeky gits. I stood on the North Bank in the early eighties, sat in the old Waterloo Road stand and was a South Bank man for the seasons when it was that or get the binoculars out in the John Ireland as it was called back then "

I was at that infamous game v Millwall in 1967. Dougan was attacked on the pitch by a fan because he scored the equaliser with the last kick of the match. Carnage leaving the ground -- coaches bricked, chased through the streets by skinheads with steel tipped Doc Martens. Oh the joy!

Would love to hear your stories.

from around 1955 all the family used to stand next to where the players came out, then I moved onto the North Bank around 1963.where I stayed.
Only ever stood on the South Bank the twice,
first time, was we were playing Everton in the FA Cup where i got 2 tickets by post,went to the game with an Everton pal, I gave him my North Bank ticket by mistake and I finished up on the South Bank.
on the match of the day that night, when we scored you could see just one set of arms raised amongst 20k Everton Fans,

second time, I took the future wife to see the Wolves v Rotherham FA Cup match in 1976, she was a Leeds fan and thought we were going to see Leicester v Leeds, she was in such a bad mood I thought best we stood on the South Bank, I had forgot Leeds and Rotherham fans hate each other, would have been safer on the North Bank.

Only sat in the other stand the once, friendly v Glasgow Rangers, got there late and parked behind the South Bank, So thought I would get away quick after game what with 20k Rangers fans leaving and probably wouldn't see my motor again, remember sitting near the front and this drunk Scot climbing onto the pitch and attacked a copper. he got thrown out then 15 minutes later staggered past me and attacked the same copper again, didn't see him again,LOL

me too, was never a great place to get away from, recently I had a Millwall supporter living next door to me, When his Dad used to
visit and look after the house we often used to have a good chat and laugh about those days,
funny enough he was saying they had a lot of respect for our fans, Well they had a funny way of showing it LOL.

I was aged 19 that game. Only time I ever hid my colours and kept my mouth shut.

Don't laugh, On the way to the match on the M1, when thick white smoke started coming out of the exhaust, so couldn't see anything out the back. then the bonnet of the car flew up so couldn't see out the front either, pulled over and all I had in the boot was some fishing line, tied the bonnet up and got to the ground a few minutes before the start,
thinking back that motor was so much trouble wish I had left it to the Rangers fans and the insurance, LOL.

Well when you do and you look at a Mini Cooper S with a dodgy bonnet, no 2nd gear, a head gasket gone, walk away.

I remember buying it for £80.00, another tenner for a gear box, and sold it for £50.00.

they are now worth around 6k.
