Ok there have been loads of connections between our two clubs over many years, so let's have your names and lists of players/managers/coaches who were involved with both. The 30th anniversary of our FA Cup game got me thinking.
(And no thanks I don't want anyone on here saying they support both either ;) )

Players listed can be those who started off their careers at Wolves but never played in the first team.

For starters players - Mark Buckland, Butler & Stobart, Ashley Vincent, Jon Flatt, Hungarian bloke name I forget, Mel Eves, Scott Brown, JJ Melligan, just a few off the top of my head.

Managers/coaches - John Ward, Keith Downing, Jim Barron, Ally Robertson, Pat Mountain.

So come on, join in for a bit of fun.

Karl Henry, he was someone who I knew would go and play higher, did well in his short time with us.

Probably only beaten by Shawcross in the violent play stakes in the Prem. Should have been banned from the game.

Correct...The first Wolves game I proudly attended was in 1982 versus Ipswich Town.

It looks like the Flux Capacitor memory is working well with that amount of info!

God I remember Mark Jones he looked excellent up until the point of scoring, he ran around, quick, looked tricky I was a bit disappointed we didn't extend the loan but then never heard of him again after that.

Was his first or second game for us when he hit the post after good play. I always felt that lead him down the path of poor finishing, whereas had he scored he would have been confident in tucking away further chances.
