King John & Daley Back for Matchday Museum Experience
The Matchday Museum Experience had two legends as guests for our games in September.
|
|
Visiting us for Liverpool was John Richards. 486 appearances and 194 goals between 1969 and 1983, a double League
Cup Winner (1974 & 1980), UEFA Cup Finalist (1972), Texaco Cup Winner (1971), FA Cup Semi Finalist (1973, 1979, 1981), League Cup Semi Finalist (1973) & Division 2 Champion (1977). There are legends and then there’s King John.
|
|
|
|
Visiting us for the Man City game, and predicting Wolves would win, was Steve Daley. Daley joined Wolves the same
year as John in 1969, also playing his part in the UEFA Cup run in 1972. Fittingly Daley was here for the Man City match after his famous transfer to them in September 1979.

For over 2 years now Wolves Museum has worked closely with our former player and good friend Mel Eves, and the
Shaw Trust. Patrick Quirke, our former curator who we sadly lost in August 2022, was extremely close to the Shaw Trust and it was Pat and Mel who started this relationship. The Shaw Trust is based in the Old Boot Factory next door to the old Royal Hospital
and are the UKs largest third sector provider of employment services for disabled and disadvantaged people. Mel and the team work extremely hard and we really enjoy their visits to Molineux.

We thought it was appropriate that Mel was photographed in the recently released 1980 League Cup Final jacket which
have proven very popular with supporters. A photo was also taken with visiting group. Thank you for visiting Mel and thanks for everything you do with the Shaw Trust.

For our Thursday evening VIP tour, we travelled back to the 1990s as we welcomed back former striker Lee Mills.
|
Mills, who has been back at Wolves for a year as Football & Education Coach within the Wolves Foundation, appeared
33 times for Wolves and scored 6 goals from 1992 to 1995 with his most memorable goal being at Ipswich Town in March 1994 in the FA Cup 5th Round replay. Wolves knocked out the then Premier League Tractor Boys.
|
|
|
|
Mills also infamously scored for Bradford City at Molineux in May 1999 as Bradford were promoted to the Premier League
and Wolves missed out on the play offs. Lee was very popular with our guests, and we had some brilliant feedback on the evening. Thank You Lee.

Wolves legend Gerry Taylor checked into Wolves Museum for a visit in September. With 193 appearances and 1 goal between 1962 and 1976,
Gerry was part of the 1967 Division 2 promotion success and a USA Champion in both 1967 and 1969. Taylor also played a big part in our run to the UEFA Cup final in 1972.
Gerry was at Molineux to help with the Molineux Memories afternoon with Wolves Foundation.
Always great to see Gerry back at Molineux

Wolves Around The World
Central America, USA, Canada
This area will be dedicated to articles and delving into our history. This section is inspired by our former Historian
and Museum Curator Patrick Quirke who sadly passed away in August 2022. Pat was an inspiration to us all at Wolves Museum and continues to be missed.
This month we move from South America to look at Central and North America.
