77 game, yes we were rammed in, think we scored at the end and thought we had won but they equalized about last kick, sure Bobby Gould scored winner at replay...freak goal or something similar. Also seem to remember they had hoards of female fans all screaming when Paul Mariner touched the ball.....little things !!!
Think that was Neil Masters
I had a ticket for this, it coincided with the birth of our second daughter, I remember being in the hospital with my missus, and a midwife came in and told me that Clough had just scored.
My music memory from that time is "Take my breath away" from Top Gun. Pretty sure it was on the same mix tape with the Bee Gees the club played, that was the same every game.
Definitely Neil masters see #8
I always remember “dear Jessie” by Madonna, “this time I know it’s for real” by Donna Summer and “ride on time” by Black Box being played. All music supplied by Ruby Red records.
Ha! I was spot on! IIRC this was Jimmy Murray's first return to Molineux after being transferred to City, and he scored in the 6th minute, South Bank End. We had a bumpy start to that season in Division 2. I remember losing 1-2 on the opening day at Coventry, after MacIlmoyle put us 1 up.
Jesus. Showing our age there. What days they were
Memory can play tricks after a few decades, but this is what I recall. I remember a home game against Villa (1980's) where Bully and (I think) their keeper challenged for the ball. In front of the North Bank. Bully scored the goal, but was knocked unconscious in the challenge. After many minutes, he finally was cleared by the ref to continue. Soon after, he received a pass and (confused) attacked in the wrong direction and was stopped by his teammates.
The season that we won 4-0 at Derby, and Bully scored 3, in the game at Molineux Craig Short (?) the Derby centre half decided it wasn’t going to happen again and kicked Bully every time he had a chance. Eventually Bully had to be substituted and as he crossed with the sub by the touchline gave him some brief tactical advice: “kick the ****ing *******” (I sat in the family enclosure and heard every word).
Talking of Spurs against Everton. We moved up to Guildford from Dorset in the early 1960's. I was like a kid in a sweetshop with all the football grounds within easy reach. On 11 October 1958, Spurs had beaten Everton 10-4 in a League match at the Lane. Thinking, for some bizarre reason, that there were bound to be goals, I went to see Spurs v Everton on 1 December 1962. To my great disappointment it was an uninspiring 0-0 draw!
I recall Eddie Clamp doing that
Never knew if it pre-dated that game, but it was my first memory of the Villa fans chanting "Villa, Villa" in that implausibly high pitched way that we've taken the mickey out of ever since.
I know the Lamb. A proper boozer. Now owned by Young's and damn expensive. Went to the Sherpa Van final too. Easier for me though as l was living in London.
Yes it was, back then CAMRA members entered a draw for a tour of the celler, just remembered that was me, but possibly a tad too far gone to remember the celler tour in any detail ;-)
That and T’pau, China in your hand
I really enjoyed that pie.
Remember that - and Portsmouth sent us a bill for the cost of the ball!25 February 1967. Portsmouth v Wolves at Fratton Park. Pompey built a 2-0 lead with both goals having been scored by Cliff Portwood at 15 and 26 minutes. We finally score through Mike Bailey at 71 minutes. Then, at 79 minutes, Peter Knowles hits an equaliser. In a flash he darts into the back of the net to retrieve the ball and , back on the pitch, he gives the ball an almighty upward welly and it sails over the stand roof and out of the ground. Amazing exuberance!
Two minutes later Ernie Hunt scored our winner!
My Dad’s favourite game
First game I took my lad to aged about six. Met up with some folks from another forum in the Bluebrick. Having a chat with Gav who has the broadest accent in the world..... I'm aware of my boy tugging my arm....I look down.... he says
I remember that 10-4. At the time there was an American cops series on ITV called Highway Patrol starting Broderick Crawford. The call sign from the car to HQ was '10-4', and the answer was '10-4', and this got picked up in the national press when Spurs emulated it!
Sorry for your loss
