in a week of football comebacks, what about this Wolves one.

I recall a game many years ago at Maine Road in the fog. With some ten minutes to go we were losing 3-1 but won 4-3. Couldn't see too much though. It was 1957.

I seem to remember being 3-0 down to Leicester... And winning 4-3

What a great read. Almost feel like I was there myself.

What a great read. Almost feel like I was there myself.

I was there, a sunny evening in May and 4 goals before half-time for Ted Farmer and 2 more for Cliff Durandt (who was manager of a team I played against in Rhodesia) in the 2nd half. Crowd of circa 15,000 for a youth team game, a fantastic evening.

a bit before my time that one. Once comeback I do always remember fondly was beating Leicester 4-3 after being down 3 0 at half time first time back in the prem. More pleasing and unexpected as we'd already suffered a few other heavy defeats in previous games that season 5-1 away to Blackburn in the opening game 4-0 at home to Charlton and 5-0 at home to Chelsea (not to mention 6-1 way to Morcambe pre season so at halftime it was looking like we were on our way to another thrashing. We had beaten City 1-0 to games previous for our first win of the season though

A much forgotten but historic one happened on 7 Feb 1987. 1-0 down after 80 minutes v Stockport after a run of only 5 wins in our previous 20 games (including Chorley). Languishing in 14th in Div 4 and looking like 11 blokes who had never met before, or even seen a football, we somehow scored 3 in the last 10 minutes to win 3-1. After that we went on a run of 13 wins in our last 17 games to finish 4th, missing out on promotion by 1 point and losing the first ever play offs final to Aldershot. Ultimately that season ended in failure but that 3 goals in 10 minutes had lit the blue touchpaper on our road back to glory

2-0 down to Sheffield United in injury time and De Wolf penalty and Emblen header got a point.
Must have only been 9000 in the ground when we equalised.

Was just about to post this. God it was cold that day if memory serves me right. Didn’t Nathan Blake score for them?

Last 2 nights were incredible but have they come from 2-0 down away at Barnsley to win 3-2? RIP Dean Richards.

Nice but it’s incomparable to the comeback Brian law made coming out of retirement to be a lynch pin in the Center of our defence. Oh and he stole a bus
