Five memorable Wolves trips to Wembley

Take a look here at five other memorable trips to the famous ground.

1988 Burnley 0 Wolves 2, Football League Trophy final

Graham Turner’s side had lifted the Fourth Division title three weeks earlier.

And Wolves had a chance to clinch another trophy at the home of football with 80,841 watching on.

Goals from Andy Mutch and Robbie Dennison secured the cup and put the seal on a stunning season, which saw club legend Steve Bull score on an astonishing 52 goals.

The Sherpa Van triumph marked a turning point as the club set about climbing back through the leagues.

1980 Nottingham Forest 0 Wolves 1, League Cup final

Arguably the most famous result in club history came in the League Cup final as John Barnwell’s men took down European Champions Forest in front of 96,527.

A tactical decision just two hours before the game masterminded by assistant manager Richie Barker paved the way for the stunning win.

Barker decided to move Peter Daniel wide to block the dangerous John Robertson and bring Kenny Hibbitt inside to support the strike force.

And it was Daniel who forced a mistake between David Needham and Peter Shilton that allowed Andy Gray to take full advantage and guide the ball home for what proved to be the 66th minute winner.

1974 Manchester City 1 Wolves 2, League Cup final

Wolves manager Bill McGarry took the biggest gamble of his life when he announced his leading scorer, John Richards, would be in the side despite a three-week absence through injury.

Kenny Hibbitt scored the opener while City levelled through Colin Bell.

But it was Richards' winner that will be remembered in front of 97,866.

McGarry was set to sub Richards, but changed his mind at the last second with David Wagstaffe pulling up.

Richards then fired home the winner to send Wolves fans delirious at full-time.

1960 - Blackburn 0 Wolves 3 - FA Cup final

98,954 were in attendance to see Wolves win the most recent of their four FA Cup triumphs to date.

Wolves took the lead shortly before half-time, when Barry Stobart whipped the ball into the Blackburn box, only for Mick McGrath to score an own goal after pressure from Norman Deeley.

They extended their lead in the 67th minute, Deeley scoring himself this time, after good work from Des Horne.

The match was finished off by a second Deeley goal in the 88th minute, smashing in after Stobart’s shot came back off the post.

1949 - Wolves 3 Leicester 1 - FA Cup final

Stan Cullis masterminded Wolves’ third FA Cup win in front of a sell-out 98,920 at Wembley.

Wolves started superbly and took a deserved 13th-minute lead when Jesse Pye headed in an inch-perfect Johnny Hancocks cross.

Leicester kept Wolves at bay until almost half-time, when Pye collected the ball in the penalty area, turned and slammed home for his and Wolves’ second.

The Foxes pulled one back immediately after the interval courtesy of Mal Griffiths but Sammy Smyth dealt the killer blow finishing low into the far corner to make it 3–1.

It was the first of five major trophies that Wolves would win under Cullis.
