Beating United twice in the Premier League.

2) sitting on the white wall on the edge of the pitch on the Waterloo road. We would often retrieve the ball to throw to the players when it went out of play. However, always missed the last 5 minutes as the police made us kids get off the wall at the end, then we couldn't see from behind it for the last 5. So close to the action.

I remember this as well Floyd. In the days before I graduated to the North Bank.

My fave is the play off win at Cardiff. It's the decades of misery that made it so special.

Bully's winner at the 2-1 win at Albion.
Bully at Newcastle on New Years Day. Didn't fly there though
The FA Cup win v Sheffield W with the incredible penalty shoot out.
4-3 win v Leicester when 3-0 down at HT

Robbie Dennison's 35-yarder against Neville Southall in the Football League centenary tournament at Wembley in 88.

The quarter-final win at Leeds in 98 - Goodman's winner and Hans Segers saving Hasselbaink's penalty.

Alex Rae's goal in the away leg of the play-off semi at Reading. The relief after we had been hanging on to our 2-1 lead for the entire game.

The lights going out when we played PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Cup.

A match on boxing day or New Years day v's Sheff Utd. Full house, loosing 2-0 with mins to go the was it a pen and a goal and we draw 2-2

obviously Cardiff and the play off final, to be 3 - 0 up so soon made you relax and enjoy the day without any tention

Play off final was special, cathartic and almost a mixture of joy and relief - at last !

Too many wonderful moments to list and my memory doesn't let me remember details of individual matches but there are two days I will never forget.
My very first match at Molineux against Spurs in 1959 or 1960. For a young lad watching superstars like Billy Wright and Danny Blanchflower it was just magic.
The other one is May 22nd 2011. That day (and date) will live with me forever. The only time I have been on the Molineux terraces, ecstatic even though we just lost.

1-0 Forest
2-0 Burnley

George Berry's goal v Derby
Bully's last minute equalizer at Brentford - had got stick all game and never got a sniff. One chance, Bang, waved to their tossy fans.
Lofty's wonder show at Old Trafford in '76.
Smashing Liverpool 4-1 with Emlyn Hughes getting on the scoresheet in '80.

Agree with Simon that Bully's last minute winner at the Albion takes some beating, as does his 4 goals on New Years Day at Newcastle.

The 4-3 against Leicester in the Prem was a good one. And when we beat the Champions Arsenal in the snow 5-1 after being one down at half time was not bad and I am not sure that there has ever been a game before or since that has produced 1st, 2nd and 3rd in Match of the Day's Goal of the Month.

But probably my overall best memory would be John Richards winner in the 1974 League Cup Final

Worst:

Coming back on the Special from Southend, after they beat us to end automatic promotion hopes. The emergency chain was pulled at regular intervals and numerous toilets went through numerous windows.

On the platform at Southend, after Wolves fans had uprooted a lampost to take on the train, I fell down the fricking hole.

Finally got home at 03.00hrs.

Newport away and Carlisle away.

Newport - yards from the ground in torrential rain, only to hear that it had been postponed.

Carlisle - in the ground, game postponed due to floodlight failure. 400 mile round trip.

I was on the same Special to Southend. We played on a Friday night for some reason and the journey was about 6 hours each way. The blokes sitting opposite us ripped out their table, threw it out of the window and then tried to deny that it was them when a copper came into the carriage to find out where the table he just seen fly past his window had come from.

Losing 6-0 away at Rotherham in the 1st round of the FA Cup in the 85/86 season which had many lowlights.

Seeing Bully on his knees in front of the Wolves fans after losing the play-off semi at Bolton.

Herb...more bad news about that Newport County game. I was meeting my mate Micky Till at the ground but heard that it was posponed before I set off, so I didn't go. Mobile phones were yet to be invented so Mick made it to the ground... Fortunately Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin also did, & they ended up spending their night together in the club bar discussing the Wolves.

We also went to that Southend game which was a massive unexpected failure. Heard about the seafront riots but were too despondant to care.

I actually 'liked' that 6-0 defeat at Rotherham, especially when Nicky Clarke got sent off ät the end. There was a riot at half time & I remember carrying 2 boiling hot cups of tea through it. People stopped fighting to let me pass!

But worst of all...I agree was Bolton. I had that photo of Bully on my desk for the next 10 years as a bitter reminder. I will never get over it

That's the thing about supporting Wolves; more bad memories than good ones.

The good one, being so few, burn much brighter than the bad ones and three cup final wins (alright, one was a Mickey Mouse cup), numerous promotions and umteen wins against the bigger clubs pale the losses and disappointments into oblivion.
