up to these days but, apart from a couple of dodgy passes, he still looked good. The mood among the players and fans was friendly but Micky Gray still managed one or two tasty tackles here and there. He later earned much laughter when he missed a good chance by a mile and proceeded to roll around very theatrically in the manner of one or two modern- day prima donnas. The first-half was almost over when we took the lead and it was Quinny who got it. He'd had a couple of decent shots earlier that had gone just wide but then he got a header on a low cross from the right and it hit the back of the net. He seemed genuinely pleased and he ran over to hug Bobby Saxton. He was immediately substituted by Michael Proctor, feeling no doubt that he'd contributed enough.
There was a penalty shoot-out during the break which involved former Led Zeppelin singer and Wolves fan Robert Plant taking kicks against Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey. It was clear that Mr Moxey is not exactly Mr Popular among the Wolves fans and there was a lot of booing as he took his place on the goal-line. “Knock his head off!” the guy next to me shouted as Plant ran up. I don't think Robert should give up the day job though, as he missed the goal completely from one kick, hit the bar with another and had one saved by Moxey. He passed another to former Wolves hero Steve Bull who slotted it home.
It was good to be at a game that wasn't controlled by the strictures of TV as the halves seemed to start when everyone finally got around to coming on. Thomas Myhre
