Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's living in Agadez, Niger.  Spending more time in town, Agadez, as bad people in the desert are spoiling the good life.

The Doog!!! Went to the game v Canterbury. A 2-2 draw I think from memory. Those were the days when Wolves were a good team(UEFA cup finalists that year). John Richards, Mike Bailey, Jim McCalliog, and of course Derek Dougan. Ah memories...

The main event was Wellington 0 Wolves 6. Wolves attacked straight from the kick-off and hit the cross bar before a Wellington player had touched the ball. I was twelve at the time and seeing those names playing the way they did that day left a lasting impression. 

Yep, Keith played that day.


As for curtain raiser - here 'tis.

All Wgtn team from either Stop Out or Wellington City (Miramar/Hungaria composite)

8 NZ internationals in Wgton 13 (Whiting,Barton,Cameron,Jones,Nemet, Boyland,Brand,Bruce). Some controversy about NZFA only allowing 2 subs.
