Well done George Elokobi

[caradon wolf]

Maidstone through to the fourth round. Check out George's interview on football focus.Is there a nicer person in football ?

 

[AndyY]

4th round tie at home against Maidstone anyone? Assuming we get through the replay, obviously!

That would be a dream and what a reception George would get. Folk hero

He'd probably be tempted to make his comeback lol.....

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

That would be a dream tie. When was the last time an opposition manager did a lap of honour?

 

[Flump]

One of the most likeable players from a bad era.

 

[wwbug]

He seemed special at Wolves on the pitch , today's Football Focus interview was incredible.

 

[A wanderer from Bristol]

One of the most likeable players from a bad era.

Was it really a bad era. Promotion under McCarthy, 3 seasons in the Prem, and memorable victories over Man utd, Chelsea and others. Guess you weren't watching Wolves in the 80s and 90s?

I wonder if there could be a role here for him one day ?

80s no, 90s yes.

It felt bad to me, being in the prem with Mick was absolutely grim because almost every time we played a big team we got absolutely battered.

 

[wolfslair]

Massive well done to big George!

He is a guy you couldn’t help but love!

Great professional and all round awesome human too!!

 

[Ercall Wolves]

80s no, 90s yes.

We was never in the premier league in the 90s

 

[Ercall Wolves]

Love to play at home to Maidstone in the 4th round

 

[WV10Wolf]

I read something years ago from Ian Holloway about the reception that Kenny Hibbit recieved in the late 80s when they came to Molineux with Bristol Rovers……

 

[thommo1984]

Think you've misread the conversation there.

Agree about the Mick era. Play off final was epic but was a slog in the prem with just a couple of good memories.

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

I read something years ago from Ian Holloway about the reception that Kenny Hibbit recieved in the late 80s when they came to Molineux with Bristol Rovers……

I was there for that. He walked out of the tunnel and went straight over to the South Bank. Got a huge ovation.

Kenny Hibbit at Wolves l think.

Wish George all the very best, what a genuine man, a one off.

 

[JOSWolf]

Delighted for him.

 

[Big Saft Kid]

Just heard him on 5LIVE -- he said he wanted to draw Wolves in the 4th round!!!

 

[Gold67]

Legend. That goal v Man Ure……

 

[Flump]

We was never in the premier league in the 90s

I know, I was talking about when we had Big George.

Separately, I got asked if I watched Wolves in the 80s&90s.

 

[GY Wolf]

One of the most likeable players from a bad era.

Bad era?

 

[SingleMalt]

That first year I remember quite fondly.

 

[Pengwern]

Big George OUR Folk Hero, alongside John de Wolf!

 

[SilverstoneWolf]

Absolutely fantastic. Always a 200% Wolf. Not the biggest talent, but certainly the biggest heart we have ever had. Always so nice to everyone; always so humble; a loving family man. I still cherish the picture of him cuddling his children in the end of season lap of honour when we were promoted! A man who deserves all the good times.

I just wish more managers were made from the same granite as George, rather than the moaning, whingeing, angry, miserable lot who seem so prevalent at the top of the game. Good on yer mate!

 

[welshy]

When he was appointed Maidstone manager I put them in my favourites on flashscore app so I would get the results sent to me.

 

[MasWolf]

Fantastic effort from all. From what I have seen previously, Big George seems to be a decent manager.

 

[JadeWolf]

Fantastic effort from all. From what I have seen previously, Big George seems to be a decent manager.

If I was a footballer I’d want to play for him.

 

[Abbobrom]

Mick's body double. Not too friendly with Johnson by all accounts!

 

[Werewolf of Wombourne]

Who knows, future Wolves manager?

 

[Wolf in Kenilworth]

Did anyone see his emotional BBC interview.

What a bloke.

 

[StockportWolf]

Just heard him on 5LIVE -- he said he wanted to draw Wolves in the 4th round!!!

Link to the clip!

The man bleeds old gold.

 

[sc91]

Link to the clip!

The man bleeds old gold.

Really hope it happens.

 

[Loojay]

Link to the clip!

The man bleeds old gold.

What a legend

 

[BillyBoots]

Hope he gets a draw that nets Maidstone a big payday the big man always gave 100%

 

[Southdownswolf]

He said he wants Wolverhampton Wanderers, Wolves, me babies at the Golden Palace!

Love him!

 

[Milijas]

Anyone heard his interview with Jamie Ohara on talksport just now.. (on YouTube)
Must of been hard as I remember he wanted to batter Ohara for constantly digging out his mate Adlene Guedioura.
