Gerry Gow !!?? Why - what did he do wrong in your eyes

Nothing. He was just as hard as nails. Perhaps I packed understanding of the rules here!

Salford \Blue 62 wonders about Robert Hopkins. He only has to read Paul Lake's autobiography. Lakey says he got on with most colleagues but certainly not with Hopkins.
Hopkins was apparently a truly nasty piece of work who treated people like shit, especially the younger players who were in no position to retaliate.
The playing staff as a whole rejoiced when he left the club.
He really was a loathsome object and a real member of the villains' club

That's an interesting take on it. On the same grounds, you could claim that Nigel de Jong was a villain, but a villain we all loved, because he was our villain. (Could do with another like him, actually).

For me the first hero was David Wagstaffe.

When I was young we spent Christmas with my grandparents in Shropshire. I would usually get the bus from Oakengates to Molineux if Wolves were at home on Boxing Day.

Imagine my horror to arrive at the stadium and find Wagstaffe being introduced as their new signing. He turned out to be a legend for Wolves.

I wonder what the 1967-68 side would have been like with Wagstaffe in for Coleman?

Villian Danny Mills.

I think he should have a special section below villain, maybe Cnut
