Legends -The Games QF -Europe Part I(4) vWolves 'wee push' /Battle of Burnden(5)

[Sluffy]

Slowly we move on with our 'Legends - The Games' Quarter finals, this match being between the glory nights in Europe (the first time around) or those oh so tasty match ups with Wolves - featuring Super John, Lofty the Lion, a load of pies and a wee push!


'Europe came through the first round by easily beating the 'Robbie Savage, thunderbolt at Wrexham (12 votes to 3), whilst 'Wolves' had no trouble seeing off the 78/9 double over United with a score of 9-4.

Just at random I attach the match report on the torrential downpour night, for the Zenit game - did you think at the time two of their players, Skrtl and Arshavin would soon be regulars in the Premiership?

Whilst for the Wolves match, where the club rally round the 'fun' Lofty had with the Wolves boys!

Equally matched in the seedings these two - but who will be going through to the semis?

You decide!

The Wolves games were brilliant at the time, I've gone for Europe because I waited all my life for us to actually qualify, for years in the 70's 80's and 90's this was something other teams did, and we got to watch on TV, so to do it ourselves was such a good feeling. To give such a good account of ourselves was a bonus and I have to say I enjoyed every game both home and away.
