London Wolves - An Evening with Bully - The Grapes Wednesday 20th November 2019

Our thanks to Alan Perrins of World Wide Wolves , Bully and photography Jane Marie for a brillinat evening with Bully. Stoo arranged for us to meet at The Grapes Lime Street and hear Bully answer questions for over two hours including his comments on Mutchy, Gazza, Ole Big Ears, today’s players and many other stories from his time as Wolves record scorer, England international, through to SJH renaming a stand for him.  Members and friends were  able to talk wit Bully and his perpetual smile gace many selfies.   Here are just some of the pictures

• Stoo introduced Alan first who referred to his visit to us as a founder member of World Wide Wolves telling us that there are now 144 member clubs from across the world 38 UK 31 Eur 28 UAS & Canada 7 Australia 30 Qatar Viet Nam Mexico (and Tipton interjected Bully).  Wolves told him during his recruitment to join that the ambition was 8th for first season, top 6 in second, 3rd ,4th season and on - top 4 every year.  Alan also discussed the success of the WWW lounge, and is hoping to fix beer pricing.   

Bully covered topics such as

• 30 years since Italia90; stories from England, including the debut v Scotland,  Terry Butcher, Platty, Lineker and of course a few Gazza stories.  Plus why did Bobby Robson take me.
• and 33years first game for Wolves  -best 33 years of his life
• Strengthening in January - think we will, but through loans not like in 2011, 12 etc
• Staying at Wolves for whole career - no regrets - Torino, Newcastle, Coventry (Big Ron), Celtic came in; It was Jonathan Hayward who tried to sell Bully not Graham Taylor
• Trip to China
• Cod roe rumours
• Best goal for Wolves - v Blues
• Can Raul get near King John’s or Bully’s records - nobody will
• Jota, Raul and Traore (who could catch pigeons) are a but like when we had Sako, Dicko and Afobe
• High praise for Raul
• Patience needed
• Tiredness is in the mind
• Ally or Coady; Doherty or Thommo; Dennison or Traore; Nuno or Turner;
• Would Bully get in this current team?  Yes - Cutrone is like him
• Keep trying, ask for guidance
• Mutchy
• Lee Hughes or Steve Walsh
• West Ham - player (Liam Brady)/stadium move
• Player/coach role (Hereford)
• Gerry Taggart (Bolton); John McKinley
• Zone marking/attackers as defenders
