Football wasn't so high-profile in those Wolstenholme* days, but it WAS a year or 2 later (surprise surprise) when the mighty Spurs won the Double. I think that was when football got invented.

Yes Talksaft quite right.

In the 1950's Wolves were league Champions 3 times and Runners up 3 times also. (Whisper it just in case they're listening).

In 1954 they pipped us to the title when we had led the old Division 1 for most of the season but, lost form at the end. They also stopped us from becoming the first team ever to win the league and cup double and, it was to be some years before Spurs finally did it.

Guy Wolstenholme and David Coleman were true professionals who enhanced MOTD and, didn't spend half the programme engaged in useless waffling with so called expert (over paid) pundits. Angry

True - Wolstenhome and Coleman were very good. But didn't Wolstenholme get pilloried for wearing a Spurs Supporters Club tie in front of the cameras the once?
