One of Wolves most memorable years-1972: EUFA Cup Finalists and League winners over Arsenal, Manchester United, and the Baggies! The members section contains additional material from one of our members’ scrapbooks... EUFA 72 page
In 1972 Wolves travelled to Coimbra in Portugal (beating Acedmica 7-1), The Hague (Ado 7-1) Jena (Carl Zeiss 4-0) Turin (Juve 3-2) and Budapest (Ferencvaros 2-2 first leg, and 2-1 at home) to appear in the two legged EUFA Cup Final against Tottenham Hotspur. And of course we beat ManU 3-1 in Manchester when they were top of the table, not to forget the 5-1 drubbing of Arsenal at Moli with Bob Wilson in goal for the Gunners, or the 3-2 win over the Baggies!
