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.

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.
