Shrewsbury 1 Wolves 3 FA Cup replay March 13th 1979

[Norman Bell]

The Daily Star ( I get it for my OAP neighbour honest I do ! ) has the team line ups from the sixth round replay. This was after a 1-1 draw at Molineux on Saturday March 10th with Billy Rafferty scoring for Wolves in front of 40,946 on a pitch that I recall from the Big Match revisited looked like the Sahara down one side ( think it was the Waterloo Road stand ) it had that much sand on it.

Wolves line up

Bradshaw; Palmer, McAlle, Berry, Parkin, Hibbitt, Daniel, Daley, Carr, Rafferty, Richards,
Attendance 15,279
Wolves scorers were Willie Carr, Billy Rafferty and a Peter Daniel penalty.

For all those of us and there are many who moan about Mike Dean and several other " look at me match officials " the referee for the replay was the Grand Master of such behaviour Clive Thomas !

Shrewsbury had a chap who's name rings a bell as player / manager Graham Turner !

Just watched it again as you say a proper football pitch ! What on earth did Peter Daniel think he was doing for the penalty and I do not think Willie Carr was too impressed by his " tackle "

Yeah I was at both games, absolute mudbaths.
Thoroughly enjoyed the replay.

Good match. Credit to both teams. Lots of skill and action on such a sticky, sanded pitch full of bobbles.

Went to the first match. Stood on The North Bank. Don't remember much of the match. Listened to the replay on Beacon Radio. Pity we didn't show up at the semi v Arsenal! But happy days.
