There was something on Sky Twitter about this - there may be a documentary coming out about it.In any case, 36 years this November. November 26th 1983 - at Saturday - when it kicked off. There was a similar embarrassing and awful defensive display to rival Heathrow Security elsewhere that day. Can you remember it?
Yep. I didn't know we'd scored until Match of The Day that night. Left with 10 mins to go and I didn't let my dad put the radio on I was so pissed off.

The changes in that glorious team from just a few years before were unbelievable.
Looks like the same is happening again.
Look at the players we've lost over the last couple of years compared to the likely line-up next season.
It's looking a familiar path to '86.
Off to cut my throat!

Interest doubtless aroused by the programmes on Hatton Gardens, there are a few individuals who were involved in both

One of the few games the Dings won that season as they were really shit and on a downward spiral. We managed to make them look world beaters that day.
Thankfully our more recent record against them has been more enjoyable.
They won 6 all season. They beat us and Liverpool away.
Recall that time well as my first girlfriend was at Wolvo Poly. As has been said, the changes from the team a couple of years before was bewildering. In 81 we finished 4th. Only Owen and Robertson from that team.
Remember a year later passing Molineux catching the train home after a midweek visit to the girlfriend and they’d been tonked 4-0 by Fulham and were on the way to the 3rd division.
It was a grim time for Black Country football the mid 80s.

We still had Cyrille (his last full season), Statham, Cowdrill and Godden (who was on loan at Walsall). Regis and Statham were starting longer term injury problems and missed chunks of the season, including the Dingles 1-3 game. These were alongside Owen and Robertson.
But we also had Morley, McNaught, , Whitehead, Eastoe etc, who had taken the mantle from the likes of Ally Brown, Moses, Robson, Batson and Peter Barnes. We were on the way down, even though we had been high up before this, in the early season and were still around mid-table when we played the Wolves.
