poland_exile Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 As the title says: for me, by a galloping country mile, it’ll be an early 90s match against them under a floodlit AG. We were struggling at the time, in a real relegation battle, but there had been glimmers of hope. Jacki had shown flashes of brilliance in the games leading up, whilst Dennis Smith had also just bought in a promising young chap on loan called Andy Cole. Correct me if I’m wrong, but he made his debut against Wolves that evening. Straight off, I think everyone in the ground could tell he was a class act destined for the very top. Anyhow, with the game petering out, Jacki comes off then bench and bosh, two goals in injury time to send Ashton Gate as mental as it can go. To this day, it remains one of my favourite matches with the game ultimately prompting a revival that saw us beat the drop with ease whilst playing some sparkly football in the final third. Same result in a few days time would do very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS4 on Tour... Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I will always remember a 0-0 away at a mid-development/building site Molineux when Martin Scott was sent off and then injuries after all our subs were used meant that we ended the game with 9 men with Andy Cole playing left back! And Jacki nearly nicked it for us right at the end after an amazing individual mazy run.....crazy times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy114 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 My first memory of City v Wolves was in the 60s ,probably 1965ish in Div 2 . City had just been promoted from Div 3 and Wolves had been relegated from Div 1. It was around Christmas time and there were about 36000 crammed into AG. I think City lost 1-0.

westred1 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Dele Adebola coming off the bench in 08/09 and tearing them apart in the rain at Ashton Gate. Came on at HT, scored just after their second and set up Nicky Maynard for a late equaliser. What a second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to mention this as well - i've a feeling it might have been a boxing day game as well? Fantastic atmosphere with us clinging on desperately but nearly winging it in unlikely circumstances at the death! My memories of that away end involve just about the biggest wire mesh net you could ever imagine to stop missiles going back and forth. Have I gone bonkers or were only two sides of the ground open (the away terrace and the double tier to our right - the other side was abandoned, whilst the other end was nearing completion)?

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 That Sky game a few years back where we went 2-0 down and got it back to 2-2 that was played in a biblical rainstorm with howling gales. It would never have been on if it hadn`t been on Sky and their studio nearly went a couple of times. Absolute screamer from Nicky Maynard from wide left in front of the EE for one of ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge1981 Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Can’t remember many favourite matches against wolves. I can only remember the 6-1 defeat in 98 and the 5-1 defeat in 94. Both at AG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestonRobin Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Can’t remember too many good times when it comes to playing Wolves so my favourite memory didn’t take place during the 90 minutes...it did occur on the pitch though. Its the day Big Bad Wolfie took on the 3 Little pigs at HT - it has to be the best HT entertainment ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 I remember the game that the OP mentions. Don't know that it was Cole's debut but it was definitely not long after he joined along with Rosenior. The other one I remember from that era was a game a couple of seasons later at AG, where we beat them 2-1 and Ian Brown scored. The ground was packed because they were handing out vouchers for the upcoming cup tie against Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshRobin Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Can't remember too many positive experiences vs Wolves. The winner for me has to be Wolfie vs the 3 pigs half time punch up.

Despite positive memories largely lacking, always loved our matches against them - hat's off, their away following is outstanding and always lends a cup-style atmosphere!

cidered abroad Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 First ever game under lights in 1953. Wolves were First Division champions and us in Div 3 south. Wolves full of internationals Billy Wright, Bert Williams, Mullen Hancocks, Swinbourne and more. Floodlights made it so different to anything seen before. We lost of course 1-3.

Tin Soldier Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Wolves games have always been fairly tasty affairs home and away - on and off the pitch. Next Saturday will be no different. 5.30pm kick off and everyone will be on a sesh all afternoon! Gonna be a good un and we will be up for it!
