what a player! he scored goals for fun throughout the divisions and stuck with his fans and club. a true legend wish you were SWFC. respect Steve Bull and WWFC
brings back great memories for me even though I'm a Villa fan, I secretly (!) admired Bully and I think my brother did too, who I used to regularly go down the Villa with, Bully was a man who gave his all every game, shame there's so few around like him now, too much money in the game nowadays
Wonderful man, self-effacing, honest, no-nonsense genius. How on earth he never played in the White Shirt more often will remain a mystery forever. Perhaps it's because he did his talking on the park...
I feel lucky that I watched a LOT of his goals live at the Molineux... hands down best striker I've ever seen play. When you want a definition of a forward who has an eye for goal - then Bull is the best example. Nothing flash except the goal scoring record. ... I only cursed him once from the terraces. I had a fiver on the first scorer and Wolves to win 3 nil. Late in the game and I was all set for nearly 1k of winnings - but Bully did what he did best... 4-0 and I am 1k out of pocket lol.
Its hard to find forwards that work so efficiently off long balls these days, its not pretty, its not fancy, but bully smacked them in. He didn't ask for first class service or fancy passing like most modern forwards, he just wanted the ball hit towards him so he could work his magic. Class player, deserved more England caps
As a fellow Lost City lad and Wolves fan, who knew Stevie and his family when growing up, he did us proud, he also deserved more England caps, no defence could cope with him, a good old fashioned centre forward, which football lacks today.
Everyone focuses so much on the international legends, and everyone forgets just how good Bull really was. He was clinical on the pitch, and should be up there with the greats whenever someone talks about football. He was that good, and then some.
It was a pleasure growing up watching Bully as a school kid even if it 'was' a dump of a ground. Watching him bang them in against the Tesco wank bags brings a smile to my face. Bosha!
306 goals for Wolves, 4 for England despite only 13 caps, mostly as a substitute. Hardly any from tap in's, free kicks or penalties, the vast majority scored from open play. He scored 156 goals in just 4 seasons! Legend.
A lost city great,remember him on the south rd island,i lived in Hall Lane but when the park shut you went to South rd,great days before i went to the baggies.
Ooh Stevie Bull the Tatter, he wears an England cap. He plays for Wolverhampton... And he's a lovely chap! Scores with his left foot, scores with his right... And when he plays the Albion, he'll score all fucking night From a 12 year old Wolves fan I say FUCKING come on you Wolves. I don't know this song very good so sorry if I fucked the words up.
I'll never forget that late winner against Small Heath. The blues fans gave Bully absolute dog's abuse all game with the usual bull$h1f bull$h1f chant. After Thommo scored the pen and Bully hit that great winner he rubbed their blue noses in it the whole length of the John Ireland. Molineux exploded. Great days.
Every young English player involved in the top flight academies today should be made to watch daily footage of the mighty SB as well as the likes of Bryan Robson, Stuart Pearce, Terry Butcher, Alan Shearer, Steven Gerard and Tony Adams to pick out just a few of the names who have graced our leagues and national side over the years. Not so much for their technical ability but for how they have carried themselves in the service of their clubs and their Country. All super tough, "no excuses" competitors but also decent lads who came from ordinary backgrounds and who would run through brick walls for the cause and the fans. Bully absolutely characterizes that spirit and endeavour even if he did not achieve the levels of success in the game that the other names mentioned achieved on the pitch. Nearest thing to him in the modern game might be Rickie Lambert who must pinch himself every morning to check whether he is dreaming. Freddie Flintoff and Stuart Broad examples of same psyche in cricket. All legends!
@rodders Broady is straight off "Made in Chelsea" isn't he lol so get your point. But he does get proper stuck into the opposition and gives 100% every time + he takes the hits without rolling around like he's been taken out by a sniper every time someone breathes on him from too close. Just as well because he is not going to scare anyone anytime soon with his posh accent!
Classic English centre forwards..Strong, good pace, cannon power in both feet and good in the air aswell as good position sense and full of running....I should know, I defended against them for 15 years lol. Steve Bull was super at a time when scoring 20 goals a season took some doing
LOL fair enough. We deserved to be relegated this season. I still think Hodgson will be England Head Coach before the start of next season. Everyone thinks Hedknapp will take it up, but I think he likes being able to sign players and have more control over the technical elements of a football club more and will get an improved salary out of Daniel Levy because the FA are interested. The unfortunate thing for you lot is that Hodgson is doing the exact same job for WBA as he would be for England.
proven with England , was hard as nails , fair , modest and totally underrated just because he played below 1st division. Could do with his like at Burnley
Would of scored goals at any level. Granted no where near the amount if in premier league but would still score plenty. He should of gone villa in 92 and theyd of won the first prem league. The gulf between prem and div 1 was not that big then either.
I think you need to move on, at least you are in a strong position to recruit a manager for next season. Your last two managers have been a cut above anyone Wolves have had in my living memory. I'd much rather be in your position than ours. I just hope there's someone decent left for us after you and Villa have hired new managers. If we keep Connor we are going to be fighting relegation again. I'm not a fan of the FA but, despite the press' opinion, they have gone for the best man for the job.
My favourite time a Wolves fan. Bull reignited the whole fan base.
Best days ever for me following the Wolves
Legend 52 goals 87-88 season followed by 50 the next & picked for england team playing for a 3rd division club says it all
what a player! he scored goals for fun throughout the divisions and stuck with his fans and club. a true legend wish you were SWFC. respect Steve Bull and WWFC
you dont often see loyalty like steve had these days, couldve played for anyone he wanted too and he stayed loyal to the club he loved most.

Personally dislike ya yam yams but no denying that's a good song!
lol awwww yum a cooount yow am
Wolves cunts
If Bull had played for a top 5 team he would have won more England caps. Pure class.
Great goalscorer, great times.
Thanks WBA. If not for your manager not having the brains he was born with & selling this genius to us we would've disappeared.STILL THERE YOU GO
Nice words mate !!
gary clark & very true words if I may so Gary

happy birthday steve bull,how we miss you !
Sadly, being only 20 I never got to see Steve Bull in his prime. Oh well I've got these vids to watch and wonder.
Can't help but like Bully...great player...UTV

happy birthday mr steve bull
Terrific character.

He was an out and out centre forward, like Alan shearer hard to find strikers like them nowerdays

Could you imagine his price tag and score tally if he was in the squad now in the nuno team
LEGEND
Class player.
There will never be another

he's not bloody dead!
Can't beat a bit of .....Bully !!!
Happy Days
Bloody grate 😜
If Steve had been bought on in extra time against Germany in the 1990 world cup we would have won it. Bad bistake
£60 grand has gotta be the biggest bargain in footie history
my dad (a cov fan) said he was a cracking player
Should've played more for his country
Greeaat! :)
Steves daughter goes to my school/ used to and I got to drive in his car because I KNOW WHERE HE LIVES BOII
My championship mánager player.
BULLY BULLY!!!!!!!!!
proven with England , was hard as nails , fair , modest and totally underrated just because he played below 1st division. Could do with his like at Burnley
i thought that was a relation of Mike Bassett at 0:15
Ooh bully bully
And right now there is Raúl Jiménez
Well what do you know?!?!
Bye bye Hodgson.
total genius
hark hear the southbank the southbank sing, a new kings born today, his name is Stevie bull, and he's better than Andy gray
+Chris Smaje hardly einstein is he, he's a nice guy though, respect to the steve bull foundation
sour grapes I think !!!
ooooh stevie bulls a tatter
Would of scored goals at any level. Granted no where near the amount if in premier league but would still score plenty. He should of gone villa in 92 and theyd of won the first prem league. The gulf between prem and div 1 was not that big then either.
doh so england team is a lower division just admit he can score and score
I think you need to move on, at least you are in a strong position to recruit a manager for next season. Your last two managers have been a cut above anyone Wolves have had in my living memory.
I'd much rather be in your position than ours. I just hope there's someone decent left for us after you and Villa have hired new managers. If we keep Connor we are going to be fighting relegation again.
I'm not a fan of the FA but, despite the press' opinion, they have gone for the best man for the job.
Only scored in the lower divisons. Thats why west brom sold him to wolves
