Wolves cult heroes without (too) many games

[el gringo]

Alun Evans

I remember hoping that Billy 'The Kid' Livingstone would be the next talisman striker hope, partly because he had such a great name. Managed 4 goals in 24 appearances which wasn't as bad as some.
I also liked Lee Mills who actually looked quite tricky and skillful and went on to have a reasonable career. Unable to produce the goods for us unfortunately.

Paul Dougherty because his mum lives near me and I gave him a lift home from time to time

Seem to remember Tommy Docherty describing him as the next Billy Bremner.

 

[GY Wolf]

Kevin O'Connor

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Slightly over with 61 but Steven Fletcher

Funny that a few short years ago he was the best player I'd seem down at the Mol.

I wonder where prime Fletcher would fit in to this squad.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Grant Holt.

Four games.

No goals.

But he was instrumental in flattening the pitch, without the aid of a roller, simply by trundling up and down.

 

[Scallywolf]

Anyone remember David Burnside from the 60’s? Showing my age I know!

He made 40 odd appearances for us and some fans thought he was the dogs *******s. They seemed to give him legend like status even though he played so few games.

Never forgot him as he was competing against Peter Knowles (what a player Knocker was) for a first team place. Knocker will always be a legend but not in this thread.

Always remember the fans chant ‘Peter Knowles, Burnside, Peter Knowles, Burnside’ as some short sighted fans couldn’t decide who was their favourite. No contest for me!

 

[Scallywolf]

Ray Hankin from The Docs days anyone.

 

[Shergar]

Chris Marsden

Cult.…. Almost right.

 

[JadeWolf]

Grant Holt.

And at least all them XXXXL shirts in the club shop didn’t go to waste!

Good call. Burnside had skill to spare, and would have played a lot more for us had Knocker not been here.

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Mark Clyde, Gary Breen, Daniel Jones, Jemal Johnson, Tony Dinning, Alan Nielson, Iwelumo!!??

 

[Bradmore Wolf]

Leigh Griffiths...12 in 26. Did a job

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Eric Young would be my shout too. Used to have a £1 bet on him to be first goalscorer at about 40-1 every game. Over the course of the season it was a guaranteed profit.

Genuinely gobsmacked at how few appearances De Wolf made. In my head he was here for years. Probably was, but just injured! God, I loved those mid 90s nouveau rich days.

Even more gobsmacked how few appearances Jackie Gallagher made. Him and Nigel Vaughan were our guaranteed 2 subs for what felt like eternity. Unless John Paskin came along as Jackie’s ‘upgrade’.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Me too!

Tell you what, though, my understanding is that Peter Knowles was kept on contract by us from 1969 - when he played his final match - until 1982, in case he changed his mind.

Must be a world record: 13 years, 0 appearances!

 

[Liskeard wolf]

Neil masters? Oh you spelt cult wrong

Had his own 'I saw Neil Masters play' t shirts if I remember correctly

 

[Spitfire]

Ray Hankin from The Docs days anyone.

Just NO!!!

makes me feel ill just remembering that!
Burnside should have stuck to ball juggling at Sandwell
Think the chant was just to get the atmosphere going like left side/right side or rangers/celtic

 

[whitnash wolf ex.dewsbury]

Seem to remember Tommy Docherty describing him as the next Billy Bremner.

his brother Norman was on Wolves books for a while as a defender

 

[Hot Fuss]

Jack Robinson just for that tackle down by the south bank.

Hans Segers for the save at Leeds.

Darren Simkin.

Kevin Kyle for the pass the Henry at Charlton.

 

[Hot Fuss]

Biggest of all for me Vio Ganeo. Great finisher and a mad little *******.

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

If this thread gets to about 6 or 7 pages every player to have turned out for Wolves in the past 40 years will get a mention!!!

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Darren Simkin.. had fans chanting his name. Simo Simo Simo, cult status for not many games.

 

[Hoganstolemywife]

Iwelumo is the PERFECT name for this. Journeyman who was absolutely amazing for half a season

 

[Mile End Wanderer]

Michael Gray??

 

[Berlin Wolf]

Iwelumo is the PERFECT name for this. Journeyman who was absolutely amazing for half a season

Noticed on WolvesTV comms recently, Mickey Burrows calls him Looms.

Does loads of stuff for WolvesTV, speaks well.

 

[The Weasel]

Sturridge...brilliant briefly...not sure how many times he played for us though...

Just checked. 75 apps 28 goals. Guess that's too many...

 

[TheConcourse]

I’m staggered this name hasn’t been mentioned for that second half performance in the famous 4-3 v Leicester..

Hassan Kachloul. 4 appearances. Took the **** that 2nd half. Literally stood on the ball to pull his socks up!

 

[Norris]

Super Guy (Whittingham) the soldier
Notts County away springs to mind.
Covering for a certain Steve Bull isn’t the easiest gig in town either!

 

[JadeWolf]

Would Afobe count?

 

[OLDGOLD]

Geoff Thomas.
46 appearances.....

 

[Bognor_Wolf]

Jeremie Aliadiere remember him having a half decent loan move here... One game I really remember was when we went to Hull away and won 3-2 the Cort derby where the two brothers played against each other and Carl Cort scored the winner in the 89th minute was a class game!

 

[Macman]

Neil Edwards.

 

[Balti Pie]

Adlène Guedioura
Bjorn Sigurdarson
Marcus Hahnemann
Seol Ki-Hyeon
Mark Davies
Bright Enobakhare
Zeli Ismail
Jon Dadi Bodvarsson

 

[Sheriff Woody]

Mark Walters. If we’d have signed him permanently I swear we’d have won promotion.

 

[Willywolf]

Imagine how things might have turned out had Tony Daley not suffered with injuries…

 

[John Richards 1974]

Mike O'Grady

 

[Tring Wolf]

Marcus Hahnemann. USA! USA! USA!

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson looked like he was going to be a real hero up until his injury. Forget chants, he had his own thunderclap…
