Wolves Video Of The Day – Five Star Wolves and our UEFA Heartbreak.

By: Toby | March 26th, 2009

And so the magical mystery tour of Wolves through the echelons of video time continues! However before we waste a bit more of your day we’ve got some actual Wolves news to talk about, Sylvan Ebanks Blake has pulled out of the England U-21 set up with a slight calf strain, I wouldn’t get too worried about that, I think he’s essentially pulling a Gerrard (Pulling out of friendlies and games where he doesn’t fancy flying to) so I think he’ll be ship shape and wrapped in cotton wool in time for the Birmingham game.

Right then! For today’s video, not as good as Honved I’m afraid, but few videos are. Today’s video is from Wolves’ 71-72 season, where you’ll get the good – Wolves knocking 5 past Arsenal, and the bad – Wolves losing against Tottenham. Well at least it was in a UEFA Cup final, I’m sure there are many younger fans who are completely unaware that we were in Europe in that decade. Nice bit of footage to see Derek Dougan in full flow against The Gunners.

  Cheers, Toby. Fantastic stuff. Is it just me or were goals better in those days? The first three goals against Arsenal were top notch.

  My parents bought me that strip for my fifth birthday. You have no idea how hard it was to find a child’s replica Wolves kit in Surrey in 1972. Wish I’d had the brains to hang on to it.

  Waggy’s goal at the start is dripping in class from start to finish.

  My mum ghost wrote Dougan’s autobiography in the closing stages of his Wolves carear (Writing for Wolves is obviously in the blood), so we’ve got one of the great man’s shirts and a pair of his socks knocking around the house, they were so long we used to use them for christmas stockings. I jest not.

  My dad talks alot about this game. He was behind the goal, it snowed and wolves were 1-0 down at half time. All 5 goals were scored at the other end (lol).

  Toby – sheer class. Fantastic memories. Any chance you can find Willie Carr’s goal against Chelsea in 1975? Wolves won 6 or 7-1 that day – if memory serves. Thanks very much for the Web site. I live in Denmark now and am forced to watch at on the net – BUT I do have tickets for the Southampton game. Out of the darkeness etc etc. Cheers. Rob

  Ah. I don’t think I was at that Arsenal game, sad to say, but I was right behind the South Bank goal at that UEFA cup final first leg. That was a tough night. Mind you, that was one hell of a goal from Chivers.
