No problem, Will take a look mate,

Thanks. You don't need to do all of them obviously, the player pics speak for themselves. But the game pics need a match reference and at least a year otherwise they do lose their impact imo.

 

[Spitfire]

Definitely some new ones amongst those, @chignalwolf.
Thanks for posting.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

Some great photographs @chignalwolf, did you take them yourself…

Only joking. I like seeing these old photographs of Molineux.

Wolves 4th Division Champions 1988

That was a great season. Only the fourth division, but it showed the football world that the Wolves were back.

This was against Norwich in the first game of the season, August 25th 1973. We won 3-1 ( McCalliog,Dougan2) Kevin Keelan ,their keeper,fell backwards into the post as Dougan scored at the North Bank end. The match had to be delayed about 30 minutes, as they had to replace the post..
It wasn’t the first time a post broke in a match. Wolves lost 1-0 in the FA Cup 4th round against Bournemouth on 28th of January 1957, this time the post was broken at the South Bank end.

The fans were on the pitch in May 1967 to celebrate our promotion under Ronnie Allen. You can see Allen speaking to the crowd from the directors box in the left had bottom corner of the photo.

Shows that Bournemouth always were creative at finding ways to time waste when leading.

• Wolves 1 Liverpool 2 in May 1947 at Molineux. Liverpool keeper Cyril Sidlow kicks the upfield #Div1

Is this the game where Stan Cullis refused to commit a professional foul which meant Liverpool scored and won the title instead of us?

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

That looks like Hughie Curran and Peter Bonetti.

Yes definitely.

1950s

Peter Broadbent and Jimmy Murray are visible in that crowd. I think that photo may have been taken at the end of a game v Luton in 1959 when we clinched the Championship with a 5-0 win, and there was a pitch invasion at the end.

Wolves 1 Bolton 2 in Jan 1959 at Molineux. Colin Booth on the attack ...

Was at that game, 4th round of the Cup, all ticket, 55,000 crowd. Nat Lofthouse scored both their goals, the winner from the penalty spot after Finlayson our goalkeeper brought him down diving at his feet.
