[Deutsch Wolf]

Memory here and on my phone but our recent record up there is something like:

2011/12: 0-0
2010/11: 3-1
2009/10: 2-5
2006/7: 1-2
2004/5: 1-3
1998/9: 1-2
1997/8: 1-1
1995/6: 0-2
1994/5: 1-1
1993/4: 2-0

The 94/95 game was the day Billy Wright died, I remember my dear old Grandad being cut up about it. Mark Venus scored for us.

The year before is when Lee Howey did Geoff Thomas.

The 94/95 game was the day Billy Wright died, I remember my dear old Grandad being cut up about it.

We were in a social club when it came up on the BBC, even the elder Sunderland fans were in tears. I actually cried I loved Billy he was a superb bloke.

As I am about to retire for the evening, I will leave you with one question. Who were Wolves opponents when Billy Wright made his official debut for the club? No use of google please.

 

[Lycan]

Forest?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It was a weird non-league team I think - I have googled and will reveal no more but the non-league is right. His unofficial war debut was against Notts County in 1939

 

[leedswolf]

Sweet.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Leeds has given a clue. It was a non league team, and they are now defunct.

 

[Kenny]

Lovell's Athletic in da FA Cup (when the Cup was played over 2 legs in the first season after the War)

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Correct Kenny.

 

[fizzwolf]

[FrankMunro-371]

[fizzwolf]

No, I am not that old...!!

Taken in the spirit it was given. ldman:ldboy:

 

[Kenny]

Yes. I was delighted after watching young Billy grow up and had been great friends with his Grandfather!

[FrankMunro-371]

Cruel Kenneth, but nearly true....

 

[Parkins left foot]

Cruel Kenneth, but nearly true....

Come on Frank we shouldn't let these youngsters use hackneyed stereotype language - a sharp 'clip around the ear' is called for
