Weirdest Place You've Bumped Into a Wolves Fan

[JC14M5 Wolf]

Sri Lankan jungle.
Couple of us were trying to find an Arak moonshine distillery which the locals had given us the heads up about, they brewed this pinkish variant which was supposed to be the *******.
It was a well beaten trail that led us to this place and after exchanging either $ or ruppes for a couple of bottles we were invited for a 'smoke & a pancake' as it were.
Anyhow after about half hour another couple of geezers rock up. It was an odd session that follwed and an amusing night treck back. One of them Tim who lived in Northampton was a season ticket holder In the BQuiet. We stayed in touch for years but lost track after the death of his old man.

Not often you see a dog wearing a shirt....

Lol.....was waiting to see how long before someone said that.

But did Kerr Avon get goosebumps from meeting you?

Almost certainly.
I once took the pee out of Ian Botham at Worcester when I asked him if he wanted my autograph. True story, he wasn't amused.

 

[George AlooGobi]

In a restaurant in Colva, Goa.

All he could do was complain about the "plastics" coming out the woodwork.

Where were they when we were ****, I cor get a seat in the Southbank no more etc etc

Come to think of it, he was a bit of a tossa

What year was this?

I met a Wolves fan in Goa a while back. Baga beach

Met a Wolves fan in a small town near the Vietnam border.

I was on the "Place of High Sacrifice", a site at the ancient city of Petra in Jordan with my wife, in 2008, and I heard the guy next to me talking about Steve Bull. Turns out he was a big Wolves fan and a member of the Wolverhampton Mountaineering Society and we had a great hours chat on the way back down. I think his name was Mick and I doubt he posts on here, but if he does I hope he remembers that day too.

Niagra Falls was unusual, hello if it was you

2 miles off the Welsh coast on a sea kayak. Turned out we were at school together 40 years previously.

Almost certainly mate! I'll have to check the copy of the E&S my folks saved for when I got back.

So many times I would find a Wolves fan which coming from London isn't an evey day occurrence.
Two I can think of at this moment. Many moons ago, probably early 70's, I was on an University of Life expedition - otherwise known as a Club 18-30 holiday - when these three guys from Gloucester arrived ......and two of them were Wolves fans. One lassie from Birmingham was also on that holiday and at an organised barbeque wanted me to stand on the table and and chant for Villa. I politely turned down her invitation but it did not stop her seducing me later. Still these things happen when you are under the affluence of incohol.
The other was a few years ago when I had a client come to my house. He lived the other side of London to me. I wont go into his details but it related to something that was happening when he went to see his football team play. I asked him who he supported and yes it was Wolves. I then led him to the front door, opened it and pointed to the wall to the side of the door where I have this plaque saying "Wolves fan lives here".

In Kazan,Russia..last year the day before the France-Argentina match in the WC.

Last march mate. Didn't go to Baga last year tho, I tend to gravitate south to patnem and agonda. Currently in palolem.

Theres a young lads in Gorubathan, West Bengal hopefully still representing as I left a shirt with him.

Top of a remote village in Madeira, tour guide told us how remote it was and first guy I met had a Wolves shirt on.

 

[Pagey]

I was in a bar in Phoenix, Arizona, and a stranger overheard my accent. He came over and said " Where yo from, marmate ? " He was a Wolves fan living in Walsall, who had only popped into the bar to ask for directions. Small world.

**** me, bit out of his way then?

Top of Eiffel Tower, plus saw a Wolves sticker in back of car at Disneyland Paris
and
0800 outside a newsagents in Torquay.

Heraklion airport, Crete.
young lad with Wolves top on, scared him half to death when I shouted “Come on you Wolves”

 

[Leominster_Wolf]

Went for a university admissions interview at UMIST, Manchester sometime in the early 90’s.
Boy was I pleased when I nervously opened the door to the lady professor’s office and saw a big framed team photo on the wall behind her desk.
Needless to say I was accepted on the course.

I went to UMIST and one of my professors was a wolves fan from bridgenorth. Before his time, was known by the lads as diamond Dave - cause he was a bit of a lad with the ladies. Think he got through half the female student population tbh.

 

[OoohRobbieRobbie]

A good thread idea imo, matey.

The wife and myself were standing in a queue to use the funicular railway in Budapest to go to the top of the hill to visit the castle when I told her that the chap nearby giving out posters (or fly-sheets) was from Wolverhampton. She told me not to say anything to him as she gets embarrassed when I strike up conversations with total strangers out of the blue. Anyhow, as usual, I took no notice of her and as we approached him I asked if he was a Wolves fan as a way of showing off that I knew where he was from.

Funicular in Buda Castle District - Buda Castle

Apparently, he comes on the Mix from time to time so "Hello" if you're reading this. And have you bought your house there yet...and do you still run your bus tour trips?

No way! Went there for part of my honeymoon last year, loved that little region by the fenicular, wish I'd known this!

 

[Netherton Wolf]

If you flew Virgin, I know at least 4 pilots who are Wolves.

Your captain may have been one of them!

We flew virgin to jfk from Manchester, we had a very bumpy journey out, !!!

[wolvesinwales]

Maybe not the weirdest place but a very weird encounter which I've probably told a couple of times on here.
I was at an out of town shopping place up by Hornsey and a bloke walked up to me got a Wolves scarf out of a bag handed it to me and said 'here you can have this, my mate bought it me but I've already got one' then he walked off.

 

[Shergar]

My old local in Dewsbury (West Yorks)
Also bumped into a different one at bus stop in Dewsbury, on his way to get train to home match. I was on way to have my haircut before getting lift to game
Never believe me though due to my Yorkshire accent

That has to be Dewsbury Wolf, the giveaway was his mix name on his shirt, he finally got to dip his wick and gave up The Wolves.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Wim everywhere! You could go to the moon wearing a Wolves shirt and find another fan!

Went to Ibiza on my first ever trip abroad in 2000, me and a mate decided to wear our Wolves shirts one night to fly the flag and see if we could find any others, lo and behold some lads spotted the shirts within minutes and wahey it was a Wolves take over of San Antonio for the rest of the night.

Strangely enough we met some Mexicans one of the nights and ending up singing Oasis songs with them, very badly, I didn't even like Oasis that much back then but they seemed to enjoy it, my only previous experience with Mexicans before we signed Raul and they seemed pretty ****in cool

None of this is weird, but I've been drinking so thought I'd share, adios amigos

 

[cobweb]

Im not sure about a fan but i did see Raul Jimenez on a scooter (not the motorized kind) going up and down the pavement on Wrottesley road Tettenhall about a month ago, which was a bit weird.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Last Aug. 10th. North Vancouver, about 4pm driving home in my minivan and 3in. Wolves logo in my back window which I only had there about 3 weeks.
First you need to know......you practically never see any soccer logos of any type on a vehicle here. Maybe once every 2 years or so. Even very few shirts of any club, Barca being the most frequent.
Anyway, rush hour, very slowly 2 lanes moving down to the bridge. I’m in the left lane and I hear to my right cheering /calling and see arms waving. In a big black pickup are 2 young blond women trying to get my attention. Window goes down and they and the driver are all saying Wolverhampton, Wolves etc. Just as they are taking the Lynn Valley exit one of the girls points to the fourth male passenger in the front and shouts ......”his dad played for them”.
And then they were gone....no time to ask anything else. I was over the moon.
I took it as a good sign.....next day we played Everton.
On the off chance one of the 4 read this please tell us who your dad was.

Had the Wolves puma white away shirt on (what house sponsor)when visiting Universal Studios about 4/5 years ago and got a few ‘c’mon me babbies’ and ‘up the Wolves’ comments.

Was at a pub in Branscombe, Devon a few years back and fella next to me was originally from Wolvo who had moved down there and he was talking about the Wolves.

I went to Worthing during half term just gone and while kids were on a ride at the fairground a fella stands next to me in a Wolves coat. I asked him if he was going anywhere to watch the match later (it was the morning of the Bristol City cup match) and he said,”I’m watching it at home mate.” Turns out he had moved down there as a kid. Apart from a Brighton top-wearing jogger, his was the only football related top I saw all weekend.

Resorts World Casino, Manila.

I was playing a poker tournament, but as my Tagalog stretched purely to Oo, Hindi and Lang (yes, no and just), I was keeping my mouth shut.... after 5 hours of play I found myself heads up with a young guy who also hadn't said a word..... he smiled and said "good luck mate" in a very distinctive Wolvo accent... we ended up agreeing to split the prize and spent the next few hours talking Wolves.

It was the night we sold Benik Afobe (the first time around) and neither of us were best pleased.

I'm sure there's more to this story, but there was free alcohol...... so I forget.

Here in St. Leonards , Victoria, Australia, met a Wolves fan taking a picture of the back of my campervan (Its plastered in Wolves stuff lol)

 

[nomadwolf]

About 7 years back, me and 3 Fulham mates in our 50s, got chatting to a much younger, half age, Swiss Air hostess, at outdoor apres-ski bar in Verbier, when she shly replied...." you probably not know my little team...Wolverhampton Wanderers".....seems old boyfriend introduced her to Wolves at uni in UK

I fell in love straight away, and she suprisingly was a no show, to an arranged meet, on her next flight to Asia.

Seen a few Wolves flags (leaping and Wolves head) flying high at Glastonbury.

 

[Very Proud (AKA Still Proud)]

2003, the morning after the Play Off Final landed in Charles de Gaul with my two lads on the only plane allowed in that morning due to the usual air traffic controllers strike, having traipsed across London to Luton the night before. Were on our way to catch up with the rest of the Family who were already in EuroDisney.

Having stopped as far away from the deserted terminal as they could possibly put a plane from England we sat on the bus waiting to be taken across the tarmac and this lad gets on and sits on the only spare seat directly opposite us and says "Great day yesterday, wasn't it!"

[Brizzlewolf]

I was in Dubai and Wolves were playing Small Heath in a Sunday lunchtime kick off. The hotel was way out of town and having raced back from work I found the hotel bar was closed but I persuaded the hotel staff to open it and to find the game on the TV. Sitting there in this huge bar,
completely on my own nursing an orange juice....no alcohol until 6 PM....after around 10 mins a guy walked into the bar came over, looked at the TV, then me and said Blues or Wolves? When I told him he smiled and said C'mon me babies!
We battered them the bar opened and we got absolutely spangled together

 

[JadeWolf]

Dunno about other Wolves fans but I’ve had my Wolves top on on holiday and people have commented. Was in Rome the other year and a guy in a Roma shirt was like “Wolves! Wolves!”

 

[JonahWolf]

Brazzaville. The bloke was French Foreign Legion

I hear they make good films of dubious nature there.

You don't count.
If you're wearing a Wolves shirt, any guy you meet supports wolves.

Methinks name of home stadium is a better reply for Yanited (hardly any have been), Citeh or the **** (nobody goes)

Off-topic, that place is awesome. Even as a spotty, chavvy, privileged 14 year old on an expensive school trip, I could appreciate that. 1995 or something like that. Police escort for the coach since a bus full of British tourist kids was a potential jackpot for hijacking/robbing/kidnapping.

 

[Elokobi's 3am manifesto]

Me and Ning in Krabi, Thailand. Met him the night before, and arranged to play football with the bar staff and fisherman on railay beach. 3 of the locals tipped up in Wolves shirts. No idea why they had them.
Also once met a wolves fan in a tiny pub in Bratislava. Went out to watch England play slovakia in a qualifier taking place in England. Got the locals to turn off the ice hockey, and put the footy on. One other English bloke walked in with 12 lads from all over Europe. Noticed his accent, and soon, me, him, loads of Slovakians and the other lads were singing ‘Stevie Bulls a tatter’ along with some other song in German about having a dick on your shoulder. Sam from Tipton, what a great lad!!
