Having a look at what is probably my favourite MM thread for some peaceful browsing following a hospital visit. I have noticed that Stan Cullis really seems to have had an aura about him, just by looking at the pictures on here. I don't know if it's the suits, the style of pictures or just the way he looked, but you can really tell that he was the man in charge.

Not sure how to explain it, but I only needed to take one look at the man to understand why he gave us our greatest ever era. Remarkable how pictures can say so much, especially when you consider that I wasn't born until decades after he left the club. We are a true footballing institution with a fantastic and underrated history, backed by a 'supporting cast' of amazing managers and players over the years.

I was there!!!

Freezing January day, came over on the all night ferry from Dublin to Liverpool, train down from Lime Street!!

Then shortly after final whistle did the reverse!

Effectively you were travelling non stop from 10.15 pm on Friday night until 7 am return to Dublin Port on Sunday morning…. apart from the few hours around the match itself!!

But i loved it !!!

I’m sure that commentary is wrong. Richards scored the first and third with Eves getting the second.

Classic match report - Wolves 3 Swindon 1, 1980

It's not often a win over Swindon Town results in a pitch invasion, grown men crying and 'South American style' mass street celebrations.

Derek Parkin

. When he was signed from Huddersfield Town in 1968, the fee of £80,000 was a record for a full-back.

It's a great question worthy of a thread of it's own Which of our former strikers would most fit in with todays team and who would be worth the most?

As much as I love Bully, King John was my boyhood hero and is still the most criminally underappreciated and underrated striker produced in England in the last 60-70 years. Should have had 50 caps for England at least and would have had if he'd played for a London or Manchester club. He was the best striker in England from 1972 onwards.

I would say about the same as Romario who at 58 is coming out of retirement to play along side of his son.

:cool:

John looks the fitter of the two, a touch of Grecian 2000 and he could suit up today.
(Just leave a little grey on the sides for the distinguished look).

He would be worth a damn sight more than that one season wonder overrated Norwegian Diddy Haaland as Bully went through the 50 goal barrier in consecutive seasons :D:D:D:D

Okay it was a couple of leagues lower but I refuse to let technicality get in the way of my ' Truth ' :p:p:p:p:p:p

Regardless of the level, the man was a God on that hallowed turf! Any generation of supporter should know that.

Much as l loved Bully he'd have to massively change his playing style in today's game which might make him less effective. Otherwise he'd be a red card magnet to the PGMOL clowns.
