Graham Turner was 76 last month, still looks and sounds in very good nick.

Geoff Palmer played in the first game I attended. Regarding Wolves players still with us then John McAlle and John Richards are the oldest that featured in my first game. Alan Ball featured for the opposition so I got to see one of the Boys Of 66 though can remember nothing about the game. Finished 0-0

GT was only 39 when he became Wolves boss but looked older but then has changed little in the subsequent 37 years

Dunno if it was the same game but my first game (probably) featured Alan Ball playing for Everton.

No mine was against Southampton on Boxing Day 1979

This thread has sent me down a rabbit hole, but it looks like there's enough players left from the early 70s to put a half decent first 11 out.

I played against him in derek parkin's testimonial .
I chased him all game and finally put the fucker in the crowd, just before full time.
He shagged my bird in mallorca while she was on a girlies holiday, so no yellow card.

Nope, it was a tv /radio team versus various players i seemed to remember retired players.
I was "the Poison Dwarf" on beacon radio at the time.
I played right back for tv radio, Hutchinson played left wing, and was so fucking fast and tricky it took me all game to catch the bastard.

If my memory serves me correctly he had to buy the whole Wolves side champagne after the 1980 League Cup final having declared that we wouldn’t have a chance against Forest.
A few years later he used to frequent a wine warehouse my sister was managing. She said he was a nice bloke. It didn’t stop me from chanting it though.
