Old Molineux Photos

Must say I think my favourite piece of older Wolves related media is the video of the players training in the car park.

Your'e right and the physio is Toby Andersen.

So i was wrong on both counts . nothing unusual there then, LOL.
but in my defence Toby Andersen was Willie Carrs twin bro. l'll get me coat,

 

[Spitfire]

was thinking it was in a training session, but your probably right,

I hadn’t thought of that either .

Bill Rafferty, or Rafael Villazan. I think the jury is still out on this,
Am sure our own judge Northnorfolkwolf QC will pass judgement.

Top photo is Billy Rafferty.
One on the bench is Villazan.

 

[chignalwolf]

Not Rafferty.

probably not, but he's got Rafferty's boots on in the pic, , that's what fooled me,

he went on to make some great recordings aye

Top photo is Billy Rafferty.
One on the bench is Villazan.

yeah but both are very similar in appearance,
should imaging there slightly different lingo would give it away. lol

 

[chignalwolf]

Also Frank Munro had left us by the time that pic was taken. ?

 

[Saltyjim]

100% Villazan imo.

Your'e right and the physio is Toby Andersen.

I love the fact his favourite car was a Ford Fiesta. The modern lot wouldn't be seen dead in anything suchlike.

Toby Andersen used to run a physio/sports injuries clinic in Dudley, where his hands worked miracles with my running injuries. The same hands that worked on so many Wolves legends...

Reference post #1,811 the QPR game on 18/12/82 saw us thump them 4-0. I was on the North Bank that afternoon and it was Bob Hazell's first game back at the Molineux for QPR following on from the previous summer of 1981 when he was assisting West Midlands police as to what he was doing with can full of 4 star during the notorious Handsworth riots.

" Do you want to buy some petrol " was a popular song on the North Bank that day !

A brilliant video, thanks for sharing. I particularly liked hearing from Stan Cullis about things he learnt from the 1958 World Cup.

Never seen that video before. Must have been the summer of 58, between our last two League Championships. Great video!

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

In the early 70s my Dad used to park me in the Waterloo Road enclosure, at the front next to the wall. Halfway between the South Bank and the halfway line.

Seemed to be an ok view, Dad stood several rows behind me.
I do remember a copper who wouldn’t let us kids sit on the low wall and he kept shooing us onto the “correct” side.

I also remember a game against Leeds (1-1 draw) where 2 coppers were marching a Leeds fan past us before the match. Leeds fan with Doc Martens on and a bar scarf tied around his wrist. One copper had the blokes arms up his back, the other was carrying the evidence. Half a breeze block.

I did, for the first matches I went to from 1954 to 1958. I was too small to stand in the crowd, I wouldn't have seen a thing. So my Dad plonked me on the 'wall' directly behind the South Bank goal. If the ball hit the back of the net in front of where I stood, I could literally reach out and touch it. Could also sprinkle dirt on the policemen's boots without them noticing

This is not Wolves or even Wolverhampton, but it triggered a memory of mine of going 'uptown' with my mom and visiting Lyons in Queens Square. It was a special treat for her.

This pic is in London

This is really good:

The clip is from the BBC' s midweek sports programme called "Sportsview", which was the only regular show covering sport on TV back then. The studio anchor is Peter Dimmock, with a youthful David Coleman (in a bow tie!) doing the interview. It was a must see for me as a kid, but I don't remember this interview from 1958 at all. I must have been sent to an early bed that evening for being a naughty boy! At the time of this show, we were one of only a couple of families in our street to have a TV!

Love looking at this thread for some nostalgia and reigniting old memories........

Has anyone got any photos of the Leeds game in 1972? I've seen the videos of the game itself a thousand times, but I wasn't there myself, it's more the crowd and the atmosphere particularly the South Bank that I'm interested in.

"There'll never be another night like that" is the legend my old man tells me about the game.
