Dear Diary Entry 39

Where’s A Fast Luxury Car When You Need One?
Saturday, November 22: After Wolves’ indifferent recent run, I longed to see Steve Morgan overtaking me on the way to or from today’s home game against Nottingham Forest. On the two occasions he has done that earlier this season on the A41, it has been before or after good Wolves victories.

George Happy It Was All White On The Night

A Berry That Loved Changing Colours

George Berry could well relate to the sight of Wolves’ victorious players being applauded off in their saturated white shirts at Watford last night. The former Molineux defender still regards that particular change kit as being lucky more than 30 years on from when he wore it in the memorable cup-fighting era of the late 1970s and early 1980s.

Tales With A Festive Twist

‘Tis The Season To Be Busy

We are following a similar pattern to some previous years and introducing a seasonal flavour to this final offering before the big day. The holiday spell is traditionally an eagerly-awaited one for fans longing for some fresh air following the usual excesses and we reflect here on the good, the bad, the manic and the inactive of Christmases past.

A Fond Goodbye

Recollections About Some Other Bulls!

Yesterday’s sad news of Hereford United’s demise has prompted us to conjure up some memories of Wolves’ meetings with the club we know no more. We shared in the football world’s upset at the Bulls’ winding-up by a High Court judge and delved into the record books to remind ourselves, in particular, of visits to Edgar Street.

Who Will Be Our Red-Letter Entry?

Clock Ticks Down To Major Milestone

A significant statistical landmark is approaching in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers. Sometime in the not-too-distant future – and there is every chance that will be in 2016 – we will discover the identity of the man who becomes the 1,000th player to appear in a League game for the club.

Made In Shropshire – A Double Act Built To Last

Wolves Benefitted From Lilleshall Link

Some of the chemistry beneath one of the more successful managerial partnerships in Wolves’ history has come to light via a dusty and well-known old publication. Many club programmes around 1970 contained a stapled-in supplement called the Football League Review, a copy of which contained an article written about Bill McGarry and Sammy Chung early in their lengthy Molineux tenures some four and a half decades ago.

A Match Without Equal – And Not A Point Or Cup To Be Won

More Memories Of Game That Led To Launch Of European Cup

There were 37,509 present when Manchester City – hardly weary veterans on the Champions League stage – took on Roma early in the Group E programme which ended for them in success last night. The club’s second winning of the Premier League title in three seasons remained fresh in the memory and September still had a few hours to run as they did battle with the Italians at the spacious Etihad Stadium. Not a great turn-out then, was it?

Honved Conquerors Honoured Again

Time To Relive Epic Victory

Molineux was awash with memories of one of European football’s most celebrated non-tournament games when the museum exhibition celebrating an important forthcoming anniversary was officially launched at the weekend.

Another One For The Library

Soaking Up That Revivalist Spirit

Another fan-written Wolves book is hitting the shelves in time for Christmas. For the first time, a dedicated, detailed look at the club’s 1987-88 Sherpa Van Trophy has been published.

‘Malcolm, My Hero’

Fan’s Appreciation Of Courageous Keeper

News of Malcolm Finlayson’s sad passing-away last week has prompted lifelong Wolves fan Jonathan Russell to contact us and share his treasured memories of watching the goalkeeping legend in the flesh. Jonathan now lives at the age of 68 in London, where he worked for many years in the shipping industry, but grew up in the Merseyside area.
