Starting with the match that is still the record attendance at Old Trafford. Wolves v Grimsby, FA Cup Semi-Final, 25 March 1939.

Attendance: 76,962.

Woody, I have researched this and the dates those three players were at Wolves together were 1961-65. So that makes it Wolves 1964 Caribbean Tour:

21 May 64 beat Chelsea 3-1 in Bridgetown, Barbados.
24 May 64 beat Trinidad 4-0 in Pointe a Pierre, Trinidad.
25 May 64 lost 2-3 to Chelsea in Port of Spain, Trinidad.
27 May 64 beat Chelsea 4-2 in Kingston, Jamaica.
29 May 64 beat Jamaica 8-4 in Kingston, Jamaica.

Which particular game this was is anybody's guess!

Manchester United v Wolverhampton Wanderers 26 March 1949. FA Cup Semi Final at Hillsborough. Press cameramen squatting on their little black cases or lying on their stomachs in the rain were part of the landscape at big football matches...and this is what happened when a shot went just wide of the post and heads towards them. Stan Pearson, Manchester United's inside left is lying on the ground (centre), having shot just wide of the mark. Daily Herald cameraman Bert Abell took rapid action as the ball headed for him. His dive for safety produced an involuntary release of the shutter...to record this picture as Billy Wright of Wolves standing behind the keeper looks on. The final score was a one all draw. Wolves went on to win the replay one nil.

The 31st August 1986 Brian Little is appointed Wolves manager replacing Sammy Chapman, after half a dozen games I thought under this guy maybe we've got the one to lead us out of the deepest hole in the clubs history, little (excuse the pun) did I know he would last fewer than a dozen games as Wolves boss as he was sacked and replaced with Graham Turner it was a decision I was furious with at the time but hey the rest is history!!

Here you go Wokes, another research program for you. The Los Angeles Wolves 1967 [I think]. They played in a tournament in North America with other UK teams that adopted cities to represent. No idea how we did result wise. We must have been good though because it looked liked that handicapped us by making us wear our shirts back to front!

The only player I don't recognize is the one with his arm on Knockers shoulder.

As we hope to equal our eight successive wins record created in 1988, I thought that a reminder of those eight matches might provoke some nostalgia!

15 Oct v Wigan (H) W 2-1 (Gallagher, Bull).
22 Oct v Bolton (A) W 2-1 (Dennison, Bull).
25 oct v Blackpool (H) W 2-1 (Mutch 2).
29 Oct v Gillingham (A) W 3-1 (Mutch, Robinson, Bull).
5 Nov v Southend (H) W 3-0 (Streete, Downing, Bull).
8 Nov v Bristol C (A) W 1-0 (Mutch)
12 Nov v Huddersfield (H) W 4-1 (Mutch, Streete, Bull 2).
26 Nov v Preston (H) W 6-0 (Bull 4, Mutch, Vaughan).

Then we lost 1-3 at Northampton on 4 December.

Regarding Tundra's comments about statistics in another thread, I have found that the champions of any of the major Leagues seem to have a run of at least six successive wins during their season. Whatever happens at Walsall, at least we have surpassed that! :D

Some of our readers will remember the excitement generated by a series of floodlit friendlies played at Molineux in the 1950s, matches which thrust Wolves into the spotlight. Some of the games were televised by the BBC - it was extremely rare for any game to be shown then outside of the FA Cup final.

[WOODLANDSWOLF]

Here is a largely unsung hero of the great team of the late fifties early sixties. Bobby Mason. Always in Broadbents shadow and left out of the 1960 Cup Final team for Barry Stobart. Home grown player scored between 50-60 goals in his five seasons. For some reason never taken seriously though by the fans at the time. Pity.

http://i61.tinypic.com/jtt1xi.jpg

Not a great quality pic but catches the atmosphere wonderfully. I know, I was there. Mason heads for goal against Red Star of Belgrade in the European Cup tie.

[Woking88]

Some great pics coming on here now, which is what I had hoped for.

Woody, for me, the Wolves forward line of the late 50s was always Deeley, Broadbent, Murray, Mason, Mullen. Stobart did a great job in the 1960 Cup Final, but I do think it was very hard on Bobby Mason not to be chosen at that late stage.

Mason's career record with Wolves of 54 goals in 173 appearances was a record to be proud of!

Birmingham 0 Wolves 1 (1959-60): Bobby Mason's shot does the trick for Wolves on a day when they kick off as champions of England.

Another blast from the past, from left to right, the great Ted Farmer, Cliff Durandt [the Stump] and the absolutely useless John Kirkham.

Cliff Durandt was one of three South African players associated with the Wolves late fifties through early sixties. The others were Eddie Stuart and the winger Des Horne. In fact Durandt was supposed to be the replacement for Horne but he wasn't good enough to hold down a regular place in the team. A hard working but very ordinary player and plug ugly to boot.XD

Still part of the great Wolves tapestry though.

Woody, after the Tottenham game with Jayne Mansfield, my next Wolves match was in November 1959 at West Ham. My only memory of the action from that game is of Eddie Stuart glistening with perspiration under the floodlights.

This is a very special thread.
When you support a club that does actually have a great history, a club that almost certainly instigated the European Cup competition, a club that dominated a decade, a club that lent our national side a gentleman, all five foot eight of him, who would break football world records with his appearances and captaincy . A club that had a player that was hailed as the 'Complete Player', a player that some say could have been the next George Best until he found his path/faith in life.
A club that was SO close to winning a major European trophy, a club that won the same trophy twice in six years, twice being the underdog, especially the second time when they were playing the current European Champions.
A club that could make an eight year old boy on his first visit to The Golden Palace in 1978 walk up the steps in the North Bank and be totally blown away by the sound and especially the sight of one of the biggest 'behind the goal' stands in the country, it was

It broke my heart Ev. I was just a kid and had started watching Wolves in 65/66 when Knowles was just emerging. Over the next couple of years we all (or most of us anyway) started to realise we had an absolute superstar in our midst. Typical Wolves really when the best player the club's ever had (with the possible exception of Peter Broadbent) just walks away from it. You couldn't write it :(

Hennessey; Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Elokobi; Milijas (Ebanks-Blake 88 min), Henry; Hammil (Ward 64), O'Hara (Foley 59), Jarvis; Doyle.
Subs not used: Hahnemann, Edwards, Craddock, Fletcher.

1877, your question about whether the John Ireland stand was the biggest in the country at the time, aroused my curiosity. I immediately thought about the East Stand at Chelsea.

There may have been bigger than that Chelsea stand at the time, but I am not aware of a new stand that matched it's capacity.

The John Ireland/Steve Bull stand was opened on 25 August 1979 for the League match against Ipswich. Capacity was 9,348 with 24 executive boxes. The East stand at Chelsea was opened for the 1974-75 season and had a capacity of 19,104.

Having been in both of them, almost at the beginning of their term, I thought they were both absolutely huge and didn't, until now, realise how much difference in size there was!

Some old guy in the corner piped up "Dicky Rhodes"! That is him below. He didn't look like that when he kept the boozer. He was a big ugly bald git with scars all over his head from heading {badly?} the old laced balls. The pub was a bit rough back in the day, fights every weekend without fail, mind you old "Dicky" used to start most of them himself.

We have spent time, post match expressing our views on the game and players. You often have some very forceful opinions, not that I always agree with them. Please do not start working on the Brian Clough principle that you are not always correct, but you are never wrong.

Your input and reading of games and tactics is always valid and a good read although you do get obsessed with negativity over certain players. You have a thing at the moment about Clarke comparing him to Dicko and what they both bring to the table. Accept that they are different types of player.

Dicko thrives on his movement and pace while Clarke can hold the ball up well and play others in. He must have been doing something right or he would not have scored all those goals at Coventry.

I posted this picture at #106 and asked if anyone could confirm the Portsmouth player as Jack Froggatt. I have now found another copy of this photograph which has the following caption:-

Bill Shorthouse slides in on Jack Froggatt in the 1949 Charity Shield at Highbury

I certainly didn't know it was from the Charity Shield match. Score 1-1, scorer Johnny Hancocks, Att: 35,140.

If you can dig up any more relevant pics., please add to the library on here.

Found this on Molly Mix and couldn't think of any where else to post it without opening a new thread sorry in advance if it's considered in the wrong place, but it tickled me!
This occurred during a debate on who was considered Wolves most famous fan, the ball had actually started rolling on a similar thread on a Brighton forum!

Edward Elgar is our most famous fan of all time. Rode to Wolvo on his bike from Worcester, had 8 pints in the Western (loved his Holdens did Eddie), then rode home again

Can you imagine riding a bike in the dark after 8 pints, mind you I expect he avoided the M5.
