Thanks Wivey - not a dry pair of eyes in the house!

 

[UNCLE REMUS]

Thanks Wivey - not a dry pair of eyes in the house!

Went down and spent 10 minutes outside St Peters, just to pay my respects and gather my thoughts.

 

[O.W.E.I]

Remus, who was there from the Wolves?

 

[Thank you Sir Jack]

Thanks Wivey. Derek was a showman to the very end - class.

 

[UNCLE REMUS]

Remus, who was there from the Wolves?

Don't know, when I got there they were all in the church, just stood at the bottom of the steps by North Street. A lot of us old codgers there.
I didn't stay that long just really to say a last goodbye.

I think they are showing highlihgts of the funeral on BBC Midlands web site.

When I heard they were going to play Danny Boy, I nearly broke down.

 

[Mutchy]

A nice report on the E&S site now. Sounds like it was a fitting and emotional send off.

Sleep well Doog.

Nice tribute. It even mentions my uncle Paul who was indeed an apprentice at Wolves in the 70's He gave me JR's boots but not the Doog's unfortunately.

Check the video clip (right hand side, third down) - I presume your uncle is on there.

Thanks Wivey,

Yes he's the tall guy in the grey t-shirt. Smashing guy (for a bluenose). He's marrying a baggie lady but couldn't tell her for ages that he used to play for the Wolves in case she ditched him!

 

[Florida Wolfey]

Thanks for the link.

RIP Derek.

 

[Big Mack]

What chance ITV reshowing the This Is Your Life from the early 70s - '74-'75. An updated version would be a great tribute.

 

[Bjorn Star]

RIP Doog - we'll forever keep the gold flag flying high.

 

[Hatch End Wolf]

The great man's gone and I doubt we'll ever see his like again.

The goalscoring icons for three generations of Wolves' fans were The Dooooog, Richards and Bully, and I feel immensely lucky to have seen all three play. Hope I live long enough to see the next one!

 

[Dougan was king]

Thanks for the memories Big fella RIP

 

[Deleted member 3518]

RIP big fella.

Totally agree Hatch End, we older fans are truly blessed to have real legends to remember and reminisce over a pint, I could add 1 or 2 more, Peter Knowles and Peter Broadbent.

let's hope the next one is not too long coming!

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Did anybody notice whether John Richards attended the funeral.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Did anybody notice whether John Richards attended the funeral.

There is a list of footballers who attended at the end of this piece - Johns name isn't there!!
