Jimmy Mac, he plays in gold and black.

He was one of my favourite players from that era.

Me too, although in my defence, they are both before my time.

It is definitely Jimmy Mac.
This is his B&B - Home - Langside Bed & Breakfast

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Another player who was with us for such a short time but showed real talent.

Look at the strip, very simple, not even a badge. That's 1960s. I can see that he does look a bit like Jimmy Mac though

Correction: I think it is Jimmy Mac -- I have found old photos in which he is wearing that badgeless shirt. Sorry, thought it was a long haired Hughie!

Jimmy Mac did wear a shirt with no badge 69/70 here he is again, the reason he looks a lot like Jimmy Mac is because it's him.

This is Mcllmoyle nothing like McCalliog.

Denis was the very definition of a model professional, what a cracking fullback he was.

View attachment 41321Billy Wright was 26 in 1950 but looking at that picture you'd say he was at least 50.

Little story, My Aunt was a friend of Billy's wife, my Uncle came round and told me my Aunt wanted to see me urgently, so i rushed round worried what I'd done wrong, and there sat Billy and Joy drinking a cuppa, think I was around 8 or 9yrs old at the time, was totally lost for words. but had plenty to say when I went to school LOL

Sat by a bloke that drove us all mental .......used to shout " Show um ya medals Denis " every time he went near the ball or into a tackle .
Denis was one of the best full backs I've ever seen at Molineux .

 

[Golden Arrow]

If only we'd have got him earlier and kept him for longer.

Well he certainly does appear excited about scoring.

Danny Hegan 1971/73

I remember the punt he had from the half way line during the UEFA Cup Final. Almost cleared Jennings......if only, the outcome of the tie could have been so different.

Denis Law was a great player and I would have loved to have seen him in our shirt permanently.

Bet he does as well Wednesbury Wolf, I mean what did ever achieve at Man U and City,

Yes correct what a wasted career he had rather than playing for us !

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

This is Mark Crook for those that don't know he played for us for 5 years until 1934. He retired from playing in the lower leagues after the end of WW2 he then opened a chip shop but missed football and Wolves so much he became the first person to set up an early football academy in Wath Yorkshire. He set up Wolves juniors for under 17's and Wath Wanderers for older players.
Wath Wanderers became our nursery club and gave us Ron Flowers, Peter Knowles, Gerry Taylor, Steve Daley, Roy Swinbourne, Alan Sunderland and quite a few others.
Alan Ball spotted by Crook played a few trial games for us but wasn't taken on by Stan Cullis because it was thought his small size would limit his progress, he later went on to play 72 times for England.
Crook arranged for Bobby and Jackie Charlton to have trials with us but just before they were due to arrive Man Utd and Leeds offered their parents money which Wolves refused to match and the rest is history.

We could have had Peter Knowles, Ron Flowers, the 2 Charltons and Alan Ball in our side, quite impressive but not to be.
