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...

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.
