Just found this footage by accident. Didnt know that the match was televised. Not sure if Paddy Buckley score the 2nd goal? Third goal was a "Cameron Dawson" own goal by Hodgy

Blades team; 1 Hodgkinson 2 Badger 3 Mallender 4 Matthewson 5 J Shaw 6 B Wagstaff 7 Woodward 8 T Wagstaff 9 Birchenall 10 Fenoughty 11 Reece


 



Terry Wharton, not Paddy Buckley scored the 2nd goal. Hugh McIlmoyle scored the first.

I actually went to that match. It seems strange now, but in those days my brother and I (aged 11 and 14) went on our own to the match. We went early on Saturday morning to do some train spotting. We went to a railway shed at Tyldesley and tried to get round it without being thrown our by the shed foreman, then went on to Molineux for the match.

Also strange now is that we must have been in the middle of the Wolves supporters. Presumably there was no segregation of supporters in 1966. I can still see that third goal in my mind. It was right in front of me. I couldn't believe it when the ball rebounded off the post and hit Hodgkinson's outstretched arm and then went into the net.

I've no idea why Mick Jones wasn't playing. I suppose he was injured, but that team always looked poor without him. Jones scored 21 league goals that season.

Thanks Silent. A brilliant find on YouTube.

Jones missed only 3 games that season and they were in January and February

Remember it vividly.
SUT from Pond St as was the norm in those days, quite a decent following.
We actually took a paper banner which once inside the ground lasted about 2 minutes.
Not the best performance and my recollection was we were well beaten on the day.

Yep we never got going in that match,beaten by the better team on the day.
Wolves had a good team I think they got promoted that season.
Knowles brother of Cyril was a really good young player he led us a merry dance on the day.
Nearly didnt make the match! I had a really terrible sore throat and heavy cold , poor game to get out of your sick bed as my mother told me later that day.
 
Keep 'em coming Silent Blade (and others). These flashbacks help us get through these non-footballing times. (You'd think the BBC with its vast collection of back-catalogue stuff would be doing this, but they're more interested in boring us with Lineker, 'Miranda', 'Mrs. Brown's Boys' and fucking 'Lionesses Summer'.)

This Wolves match was even before my time. I'd seen my first Blades game in 1962, but was young and couldn't take much in. 1966 - World Cup etc. - kicked off my interest in football (and United).
 
I was there at that match as a 11 year old along with my 13 year old mate who lived next door but one.
We were members of the supporters club based at the Golden Plover pub in Hackenthorpe.
Traveled down on Grant & McAllin's coach which we always used for home games.
This was the first "proper" away trip for me (been to the County Cup games previously but they don't count).
The thing that I do remember about that day is seeing in the coach parking area a Sheffield United Tours coach painted in blue with Sheffield W@@@@@@@y FC on the front. Thinking of all the coaches that they had in them days " why did they use this one for our supporters when it should have been in Reading.
I have always felt sorry for those fans that had to endure that.
 
I was at that game , my second ever away match . We were doing well in the first Division and expected to win , Wolves were second division & had beaten Altrincham in the previous round. In the event we just didn't turn up & were convincingly beaten on the day. The most notable thing for me was that it was the first time that I had ever seen United play in red shorts.
 



I wonder what Peter Knowles thinks now looking back on his life ( if he is still with us ? ) . I remember him being interviewed on Look North after he packed in to become a Jehovas Witness , he kept insisting that the world would end on such and such a date ( IE.. Dec.1970 or whatever it was ? ) the interviewer couldn't budge him from his conviction , he would have been a bit more on the ball so to speak if he'd said 2020 ! it's more like Armageddon at the moment ! lol.. He was an exceptional young talent and would probably have been one of the greats around those times ?. I can remember thinking.....what a knob head .

I was at that game too as a nine year old.
Was memorable because the turnstile operator didn’t take my money and told me to duck underneath it.
I think he saved me three shillings (?).

We were on the same side as the camera in this clip and I also vividly remember that third goal.
