wolves on the way to EPL

[su1409]

I am a very happy person lately becoz 2 of my favourite clubs are doing well....spurs and wolves...hopefully next season will see both teams playing each other like in the 70's n early 80's...I still remember when both teams face each other in the final of the UEFA cup 1971/72 season and spurs beat wolves in the 2 legged finals.

Famous wolves players during that time such as Dougan,Richards,
Wagstaffe,Munro,Hibbitt,Bailey,McCalioug etc delight the crowds with their attacking brand of football and they achieved 3rd place in the old 1st div.in 1970/71 season.The current wolves is doing very well under Big Mick the former Eire manager with talented players like Knightly,Ilewemo,Jarvis and hopefully they will be promoted to the Epl and stay there longer.

then I believe that when Wolves started to take our old guards in the mid 2000's made you verry happy.. I remember Wolves took Sheringham and a couple more of our players in 2004/2005 season..

Wolves did play in the premier league some seasons back but that time I guess they weren't ready... In the early 80's they played in the old Div.1 but then they were relegated and didn't made it to the premier league until in the early 2000's.. what happened in the early 80's?

Here is your answer Rlanzairi...the great wolves team of the 70's has gone and after winning the league cup in 1980 they sold their best player at that time Steve Daley to Man.city but they're still a force to be reckon with in the old 1st div....everyone was suprised when they went down to the old 2nd div.in the early 80's but all thought like spurs they'll bounce back straight away but they didn't recover and went all the way down to the 4th div.

But wolves soon recover and with the help of a player name Steve Bull,they went all the way up to div.2 and Bull went on to play for England in the 1990 world cup.

Saw on Astro the other day Wolves won the Midlands Masters... I remember Steve Bull quite well.. In fact he was the only England international who did not play in the 1st Division... it shows how good he is.. he later played for Rottingham Forest didn't he?
