Showing your age

I can actually remember this guy playing - RIP Ron - Wolves legend.

RIP Ron. Played at Ninian in the first international I ever went to.

 

Before my time. First Wolves players I recall seeing were the likes of Phil Parkes, Mike Bailey, The Doog, David Wagstaff etc

 

One of my earliest primary school memories was being given a large piece of paper and some watercolour paints to draw something of our own choice. I drew some football figures in gold shirts against some others in Blue. I remember the teacher asking me who they were, and I said Cardiff playing Wolves.

At that time Wolves were a top club and had been winning practically everything, and we were struggling in Division 2. I can also distinctly remember him saying "do you ever think that will happen again?" - funny how some simple things stick in your memory for so long.

 

Yes amazing how little snippets of memories remain from years ago but can’t remember what you had for breakfast yesterday

 

Im sorry to say but i remember them all,and my back is killing me just been for a xmas shop with the wife.

 

I remember him as well. I wonder how many of these players are still with us, Bobby Charlton excepted.

 

61,566 in Ninian.

I was in several 50k+ crowds there but never that number.

 

RIP Ron Flowers
I was at that game in 1961

 

I saw you.

 

Ah! So it was you waving and shouting.

 

Sorry guys.
Hadnt been born.

 

So you were even more remote in those days!

 

That's no excuse!........

 

Plastic!!!

 

My dad was watching at that time though.

 

I was playing with Lego

 

I was playing with Todge, whilst sitting on my dad’s shoulders! True story too! I’ll be 58 next birthday in two years time!

 

I'm still doing that.

 

I was just realising there was a thing called football to get interested in. First favourite player, Johnny Haynes, replaced by Jimmy Greaves shortly afterwards.

I knew nothing of that game though.
