Grew up with this team, Probably the best wolves team in 60 years, balanced, skillfull Never letting a ball go without a challenge, Very pacy, Richards can you believe only got one cap for England, what a joke. And Wagstaffe superb, Parkin allways a skillful tough player, And the maestro... The doog........ I'd forgotten just how quick he could be, And when he scored, No touchline dancing, or bows and arrows An arm in the air to acknowledge the applause, great great player... What a team.
Never saw these matches on TV, but lived in north west since I was 12, and had to put up with utd, city, liverpool and everton fans most of my life. Hardly ever saw Wolves win up here, but this match was special and one I was up in the Stretford and to witness. These were the Wolves of my time in following them to matches, and the team hardly changed over 10 years or so. Never realised the bad times to come, but now in 2020 the team is back to it's best. Thanks for the upload.
George was at his peerless best in 1971, but in 1972 he suddenly went downhill (dropped here for example!) and of course he was never ever the same again.
The Doog, still playing despite his age. Great off & on the field, surprised that Man U were top Div 1 as they were past their best & no Best either but he had given up.
Stacey's Thoughts: How on earth were Man Utd top of the league at this point? Law was clearly well over the hill, Gowling was a decent player on his day, but was playing for Huddersfield in the old Third Division not long after this, Edwards couldn't react quickly enough or pass the ball effectively, and players like Burns and Sartori weren't exactly world beaters! Edwards actually did a decent job for my club, Oldham Athletic, a bit later. He made his debut as a loan player in September 1972 and scored four goals in his first six games! He signed permanently for us in March '73. You can see here that the decline had set in at Old Trafford, as symbolized by the empty terracing at the Stretford End. They were relegated a couple of years after this.
Georgie worked his last miracles for United and scored seventeen goals in the first half of the 1971-72 season but United were the least fit team in the division and O'Farrell's ploy of playing Kidd and Gowling in midfield turned to sh*t in mid-winter. The old passengers weren't going to be of any help and so Best did his first vanishing act...

once upon a time the wolves where blood thirsty at that time i saw them in black and white tv.I WAS 14 when i fall in love with the golden and black shirts Though i t looked gray in the tv in Israel. Now, unfortunately they look more like kittens then the hungry wolves. Now 44 years im still waiting for players like Richards,hibbitt,Dougan,Wagstaffe,Parkin,Monroe etc. Now, theres big money in football but those times are lost forever with my childhood.
@@vincentfield9562 i'm a Celtic fan and i've liked the old golds as i call Wolves since those days of the early 70s Nuno is an excellent coach and Molineux is an great stadium looking at the future design of the stadium it's going to look great once its finished with a capacity of 53,000

Waggy was superb that day - one of his best ever performances.
he is so fun to watch. Especially these days with its dearth of true wing play.

What a great match, well done super wolves. Bailey and wagstaffe brilliant and the doog awesome in the air
Might have to just keep watching this over and over again.....!! All through next season!

We've got them now ron ,a team full of good players one or two more quality additions and we can compete with the best ..

Utd were Top of The League here..
Of course, there was the bull in the 90s but the spirit is lost.
Remember this - bloody awful pies though. LOL
