For Bratislava, Read Plymouth
When The Under-21s Were Under Heavy Molineux Influence
Steve Bull and Andy Mutch didn’t win the European Championships with England Under-21s but they won in it with them. The country’s progress to the final of the same tournament in Bratislava tonight has had us reaching to the record books for a few tasty morsels we might have long forgotten from the only time the two record-breaking strikers linked up in age-group internationals.
From Wath To Wembley And Beyond
Multi Trophy Winner Had Flirtation With Wolves
Memories of Tottenham prevailing over Manchester United and lifting the Europa League trophy in Ange Postecoglou’s momentous final game remain strong several weeks on. But it wasn’t the first time Spurs had secured European glory. As we know only too well, they triumphed over Wolves in the 1971-72 UEFA Cup.
Colin Booth: Man With The Golden Touch
Double Title Winner Who Was Blessed With Patience
How good was Colin Booth! And how good were Wolverhampton Wanderers when he was playing for them! Please note that exclamation marks have been used there, not question marks, in order to make the point that both were outstanding. Twenty-seven goals in 82 matches for a club absolutely at the top of the English game – one with whom he struggled to hold down a regular place – are the bald statistics of the inside-forward’s Molineux stay.
A Familiar Look – Or Interestingly Different?
Our ‘Take’ On The Fixture List
Yesterday’s publication of the Premier League fixtures for 2025-26 have led us to draw one or two conclusions about the match-day experiences that lie ahead. First, if we can be contradictory and start with the finish, Wolves will be bringing the season to a virtually unique close by visiting Burnley in their final match.
A Very ‘Gary’ Sort Of Send-Off
Farewell To Keeper Who Believed The Big Stage Belonged To Others
It was inevitable, I suppose, that the ‘Bloody Big Nobody from Bury’ would leave us with broad smiles on our faces. Almost 200 mourners attended the public service in the magnificent parish church slap bang in the centre of his historic home-town.
Goalies, Gunners And A Fond Mention Of Gary
Handover Time – What An Honour!
Wolves Heroes has had a priceless special audience with Bob Wilson on the South Coast – and had the pleasure of Vince Bartram’s company at the same time. David Instone was invited to the Arsenal legend’s home after saying he wanted to make a donation of more than £500 to the Willow Foundation charity that he and his late wife, Megs, set up over 25 years ago.
In And Out But A Heroic Performer
Pierce’s Path Made Him A Favourite In Yorkshire, Too
It wasn’t only about the League Cup final as far as Gary Pierce’s first-team Wolves career was concerned. There was much more.
True as it is that everything was likely to be downhill after March 2, 1974, he still continued to give good value as cover, competition and intermittent replacement for Phil Parkes.
One Saturday In March
Hero In Red Who Achieved Gold And Black Immortality
He wasn’t much involved in the preparation for a cup final but hugely instrumental in the winning of it. The opportunity was as daunting as it was exciting for Gary Pierce, who remarkably triumphed over anonymity to produce a legacy that has been lasting and unforgettable.
Dear Diary Entry 164
Regret At Missing Mark’s Molineux Return
Saturday, May 10: Was disappointed to miss seeing Mark McGhee at Molineux today when he joined Paul Berry on the microphone in the Billy Wright Stand corporate rooms before Wolves’ home game against Brighton. Mike Stowell’s surprise 60th birthday bash took us instead to Bristol, where we were delighted to meet up with Paul McLoughlin.
