Ah thank you, just the word I was looking for.

"I wonder" said LaFarge "just how much Molly knew?"

I used to love the Laurel and Hardy theme tune that would come up from all of The South Bank in the years from 86 until it's demise when Plod would start to walk in front of it with about 10 minutes left in games.

Well I remember it from the north bank in late sixties early seventies
Also the most politically incorrect chorus is get em off to the poor St. John’s ambulance girls

September 8th, 1888 Wolves 1 (Cox o.g.) Villa 1 (Green) Attendance 2,500

Nah, that was the year before, our first league season was played at Dudley Road. The newspaper article is referring to the move to Molineux in 1889, first game again was coincidentally against Villa but was a friendly, David Wykes scoring the only goal in front of a 3900 crowd for a home victory. The first league game was a few days later a 2-0 win over Notts County.

Hubert is a great name.

My next hound will be called Hubert.

(A current one is called after my first boss - Cedric)

I stood on the crushed North Bank with my dad.
Saw it all unfold before me! What a sad night it was!

Stood on the crushed North Bank that night with my dad.

I was also in the North Bank. It was sad, but we came straight back up.

I remember being in the enclosure on Waterloo Road really early with my dad and brother. It was quite a frightening experience, reds everywhere. IIRC someone on the North Bank tried to keep the match ball that night!

One of my most memorable games at Molineux & I didn’t even get in to the ground. Looking back it is amazing that this was not an all ticket match, all the Liverpool fans down in Wolverhampton nice and early & filled the South Bank. We got there at least an hour before kickoff & couldn’t get in the North Bank (fans tried ripping the gates off to get). Must have been at least 10k locked out & remember walking back up Waterloo Rd & hearing Wolves fans cheering when Steve KIngdon put us ahead, only to find out that we lost 3-1 when I got back home and we were relegated.

Not Molineux, think it’s Bloomfield Road, but what a kit.

Great photo and what a great kit! Yes, it was away to Blackpool and Dean Edwards (in the photo) scored the winner in a rare 1-0 away win (I was there) - a very rare win in a depressing season….

We wore Benjamin Perry as sponsor between March and May that season.

Saw that - what a bloody mess. Hope that it hasn't given him long-term issues.

I have a feeling that our resident stripped socks fashion guru @ricki herberts moustache is going to love that picture !!!!!!

Not Molineux, but a great pic. At St. Andrews, 1992. Probably the 4-0 win with a Darren Roberts hattrick and one from Downing.

Top middle , the bloke with his hand on his head looks like Cabe from Cannock. The lad bottom left in the wolves top and white cardie was a familiar face back then but I can’t remember his name.
