Memory Lane. - 1972.
The Doog!!! Went to the game v Canterbury. A 2-2 draw I think from memory. Those were the days when Wolves were a good team(UEFA cup finalists that year). John Richards, Mike Bailey, Jim McCalliog, and of course Derek Dougan. Ah memories...
3-2 wasn't it? The Doog soaring majestically to nod the winner? (climbing all over P Cameron most probably).
Keith in the Welly team df?
PS think I played in the curtain raiser. might be mistaken.

The main event was Wellington 0 Wolves 6. Wolves attacked straight from the kick-off and hit the cross bar before a Wellington player had touched the ball. I was twelve at the time and seeing those names playing the way they did that day left a lasting impression.
Yep, Keith played that day.
As for curtain raiser - here 'tis.
Due to colour clash wellington played in Stop Out strip.
All Wgtn team from either Stop Out or Wellington City (Miramar/Hungaria composite)
8 NZ internationals in Wgton 13 (Whiting,Barton,Cameron,Jones,Nemet, Boyland,Brand,Bruce). Some controversy about NZFA only allowing 2 subs.
Some familiar names in that curtain raiser (Ruffer!)
