    On this day 1989



    The look on Jim Leighton's face is priceless!

    I remember that like yesterday, it’s one of those moments you can recall where you were when it happened.

    I have heard it said that Bully's first touch was crap, but the way he took that ball on the back of his neck and then turned to fire home was just perfection!

    Sorry, but I haven't a clue where I was then!

    Impressive. I remember nothing about it because I was still settling in here at the time. Missed a lot really, good and bad.

    I can’t believe he meant the first touch, I think he was just jumping against the Scottish defender to stop him clearing the ball? His instinct to get to the ball first and the finish are part of what made him class at any level.

    As I have said before Bully couldn't trap a bag of cement, but boy did he know where the net was. What an instinctive goal scorer. It was a privilege to witness many of his goals. He must have been a nightmare to play against as many number fives have stated, especially his 'mate' at Leicester, who's name escapes me.

    Steve Walsh, proper battles between the two, always a joy to watch.

    I'm sure he didn't, Norton. Just me being sarcastic!

    A great era, Wolves didn't have a pot to urine in and great days just seeing Bully and co climb the divisions.
