They wouldve been awesome to watch. I just can’t pass up an opportunity to bang on about the signing of Peter Withe, who with the magnificent golden boy of his generation, Gary Shaw formed a deadly twosome. My overall feeling when we signed him was, well that’s not very exciting, he ain’t no Andy Gray. So after selling a big fan favourite and to a local team in Wolves, replacing him with a £500,000 journeyman didn’t get anyone over excited. If it had been in the age of social media, sites like VT would have gone into a meltdown of indignation and screams of lack of ambition. However that Saunders bloke knew a thing or two about football. The rest is history. Andy Gray went on to score a tap in and win the League Cup with Wolves. The mighty Peter Withe scored 20 goals in the 1980/81 to help us become the Champions of England. The following year on 26 May he also scored a tap in, but with his shin, so that we can now sing, “We conquered all of Europe in 1982”. And old blokes like me can get misty eyes and say, “I was there.” 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey - I'm trying to figure out when that would have been. 1976-77 might be a possibility I guess? Gray, Graydon and Little, 42 years ago? Edit - nope, Little got 14 league goals that season. 1974-75? Edit again - nope Graydon got 19 league goals that year. I give up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely this. If Wesley is Peter Withe, Kodjia is a million miles from being Gary Shaw. Way too selfish.
