Time Travel Back To Watch One Wolves Player

[Highlandwolf2]

If you could travel back in time to watch one Wolves player again who would it be?

Personally it would be Peter Knowles. Didn't realise he would be around for such a short time.

(One non Wolves player - Stanley Matthews - was he as good as he seems? One non footballer - Harold Larwood during the bodyline tour).

 

[Bill McCai]

Eggert Jonsson.

 

[Kebab Warrior]

50s Wolves for obv reasons (sorry not specific)

Marco Van Basten @ Milano

Maradona @ Napoli

1982 Brazil to watch Zico & Socrates

1950/60s Garrincha

Bully in 88/9

 

[Macman]

Derek Dougan. I was 3 when he left Wolves so never got to see him.

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

Knowing I was a 1997 baby: it has to be Stephen George Bull MBE!

 

[wolvesaywe]

Peter Broadbent

My grandad was a proper fanboy

 

[Scallywolf]

Peter Knowles.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Broadbent and Flowers.

Wow.

Non-Wolves? Italy winning the 1982 World Cup. For me the finest display of man-marking (literally, in Gentile's case) ever

 

[Highlandwolf2]

Derek Dougan. I was 3 when he left Wolves so never got to see him.

Sir, you missed a treat. Not the very best but the most charismatic by a long way.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

Peter Knowles for me, just missed out on him, told so many times about how he could have been the greatest player we ever had.

 

[Olivergoldblack]

Eddie Clamp.

 

[SuperGran]

Dennis Bergkamp

Bully. Only saw him play once, for Hereford. I can remember going past the old Mol on the bus but never went, so would love to experience that too. Div 4 maybe. (Is that bad? Should I want to see us Vs Honved instead?)

Always thought 88/89 was absolute prime Bully

Got a hattrick in three consecutive home games. Bonkers times

My first season! Amazing days.

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

If it's all the same to you I'll travel forwards in time to watch Adama and Renato Sanches running at the Newcastle defence...

 

[AlexWolvesHD]

When I was younger spent a period in the family enclosure with my dad and younger brother and one game we were stood talking to one of my dads friends who happened to have an old wolves shirt on with Munro on the back, we then had a wheelchair bound chap tugging at my dads shirt trying to get their attention before the guy pushing the wheelchair asked why my dads friend had Munro on the back before he replied growing up Frank Munro was my idol. It was Frank in the wheel chair, he was sat next to us for the game and several after it but could still see his love for the game and wolves.

I only got to see him during his later years battling illness and would love to be able to have seen him in his prime

 

[VictorPyrrhic]

The 40 minutes we got out of Tony Daley.

Non Wolves, easily has to be Gabriel Batistuta. What a player!

 

[Big Mack]

Eggert Jonsson.

A transfer window isn't a transfer window without a mention for Eggert.

I'd go for Knowles too, just to see first hand what all the fuss is about.

If I remember rightly in about November he scored something like 4:3:2:3:4 in consecutive games, one being Sherpa Van. I think we scored 6 in two consecutive home games or twice in the month and won the other scoring 5. I remember beating Mansfield 6:2 and going up on the train and thinking it was going to be hard game as they were top 6 in division at the time.

 

[Jack Russell]

Derek Dougan. I was 3 when he left Wolves so never got to see him.

I saw him play a lot and was fortunate to have two separate lengthy conversations with him. I absolutely loved the man both as a player and a human being. I have a signed copy of his novel 'The Footballer' which is a treasured possession. He also introduced me to Malcolm Finlayson, who was with him during our second meeting.

Taken far too soon. RIP Doog

Been watching Wolves for 50+ years and it has to be Bully all day long. Transformed the clubs fortunes and to watch him tear teams apart with grit/speed/aggression and no fear was so uplifting in those dark days - He is the Messiah !!!

 

[17miles]

I think I'd go and watch Billy Wright, surely a true Wolves legend.

 

[WickedWolfie]

Knowing I was a 1997 baby: it has to be Stephen George Bull MBE!

Bloody kiddy, lol. Seriously, while you make me feel positively geriatric, you missed some good times but also some bloody awful ones. Bully in his prime was one of the former - his England debut....

 

[Wagstaffe Was Magic]

David Wagstaffe in his pomp… was unplayable!

For ones I haven’t ever seen, then Peter Broadbent it has to be.

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

I remember it like it was yesterday. He got 4 as we beat Preston 6-0, 4 as we beat Port Vale 5-1 and 3 as we beat Mansfield 6-2. Probably peak Bully mania

 

[bilstonwolf]

Newcastle 1-4 Steve Bull

 

[Baboon]

Peter Broadbent. 497 appearances and 145 goals. So many fine players in those 50s sides but arguably he was the greatest of them all.

 

[Berkswolf]

Would be my two as well

 

[Snarlingwolf]

Peter Knowles, without a doubt.
An incredible talent.

Also, Waggy, if I could.
Wolves wonderful wing wizard!

 

[Rhoswolf]

Has to be Knocker for me.

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

Would love to have seen both the 50's Stan Cullis team and the late 30's Major Buckley team.

 

[VAR OUT]

Bully must’ve been on some run getting called up for England in the 3rd div? Would’ve loved to have followed him up and down the land but only remember his testimonial.

Surely the Chapman brothers....

Sorry cant find a smaller clip but look from around 7.27

Peter Knowles performed this in a league game against Leicester City at what was the South Bank end.
Leicester player had no clue the ball had gone over his head and was left standing looking into space as Knowles waltzed around him to collect the ball.

hibbit said he had a trick where he appeared to have lost the ball but had put backspin on it so the ball rolled back to him

 

[oldgoldheart]

Billy wright for me. Non wolves george best

 

[ombyman]

Dennis Bergkamp

I remember away at arsenal when he stood in the middle and controlled the game, which was played in our half
