Nope to your next two. 3 of the players he replaced were strikers, though.Quote:

Nope to both. We all remember Etuhu replacing Bothroyd and the nightmares of that moment still live on.Quote:

can't think of anyone around 2010 to fit the bill !
McCormack was one of them, away at Barnsley in 2008/09. All of the times Bothroyd came off the bench for us was the 2008/09 season.Quote:

Thommo was another. Opening game of the season against Southampton. Thommo started the next as well, at Doncaster, when we went 1-0 down and Jones brought on Bothroyd for a midfielder.Quote:

Neither. In fact, I've spotted an error on one website. We're looking for one more player, who Bothroyd replaced twice. He was a midfielder who ended up with more appearances for us than Bothroyd.Quote:

For good measure, I am also sure mad Mick was Wolves manager at the time.
What I do remember perfectly though, is the immediate impact he made… receiving the ball about 30 yards from goal, going on a strong run, gliding past a couple of defenders and unleashing a powerful shot while still running forward… fantastic technique!
I certainly remember Roger Johnstone getting a last minute header against Southampton… to win that game…. Unless, my memory is playing tricks again 😁
It is playing tricks, it’s Roger Johnson:hehe:Quote:
