WOLVES

Bill Shorthouse (pictured), who died on 6, September, 2008, aged 86, was a defender whose presence at the heart of the Wolves defence for a decade earned him the nickname 'The Baron'. Shorthouse, who made 376 appearances in his 10 years at Molineux, was a key figure during the club's most successful period, helping them win the League Championship and FA Cup. He was ever-present during the successful cup campaign of 1949 and missed only two games of the championship-winning 1953/54 season.

Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Wolves fans.

Having won the league the previous two seasons, Wolves had been pipped by a single point by Burnley as the 1959/60 season drew to a close, but with the FA Cup Final still to contest, silverware could still be added to an ever-growing trophy cabinet as Wembley beckoned.

Facing Blackburn Rovers who had finished the season in 17th in only their second season back in the first division, Wolves were hot favourites to clinch the cup for the fourth time in their history, and who would bet against them, as they eventually strolled to a comfortable 3-0 victory.

Their opening goal on 41 minutes can only be described as a ‘gift’ from the Blackburn defence, as Stobart’s cross was deflected past his own goal keeper by the unfortunate Blackburn defender Mick McGrath. If Wolves had been dealt the upper-hand with the goal, 2 minutes later Blackburn’s woes heightened as full-back Dave Whelan fractured his leg, and Rovers faced the prospect of playing the whole second half with only 10 men.

Midway through the second half Norman Deeley scored from Horne’s cross to all but seal the victory for Wolves, and with 2 minutes to go, the icing was on the cake as Deeley hit his second to make it 3-0 after Stobart had nearly up-rooted the goal posts with a ferocious shot.

Bill Slater led the players up the famous Wembley steps, and the Cup was heading back to Molineux for a record 4th time. Now relive this golden moment of history all over again as we bring you the full uninterrupted 90 minutes, plus exclusive interviews with…shot in September 2004.

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City - 1974 League Cup Final

It was a sight that no Wolves fan will ever forget: John Richards steering the ball, low and hard into the bottom corner of the Manchester City net. It was the goal that finally ended fourteen years of "if onlys", and now Wolves were firmly reinstated on the footballing map.

Having started the game as underdogs, against a star-studded Manchester City side, which boasted players such as Denis Law, Rodney Marsh and Francis Lee. Manager Bill McGarry had stressed that his players weren't at Wembley, "just to make up numbers".

The atmosphere was pulsating, and the match was on a knife-edge throughout.

Kenny Hibbitt and John Richards scored the goals, but it was Gary Pierce who proved to be the outstanding performer of the day, with a string of extraordinary saves.

WHAT A DAY THIS WAS!

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Nottingham Forest - 1980 League Cup Final

Once again in a domestic final, Wolves started as the underdogs, to a Nottingham Forest side, who had previously lifted the European Cup, and were surely going to add the 1980 League Cup to their list of honours under Brian Clough. They had lifted the trophy in the two previous seasons having overcome Liverpool and Southampton.

But under the guidance of John Barnwell, Wolves had other ideas, and in a game of few chances, it was Andy Gray's 66th minute goal that proved to be the decisive strike.

Forest pressed hard for the equaliser, but the well organised Wolves team proved to be resolute in defence, and almost doubled their lead when George Berry struck the woodwork.

Captain Emlyn Hughes lifted the trophy for the first time in his distinguished career, and Wolves joined the small band of teams to win the League Cup on more than one occasion.
