Wolves v Juventus, UEFA Cup Quarter-final 2nd Leg, 22nd March 1972

Brief footage of the two goals scored by Wolves in their 2-1 UEFA Cup Quarter-final 2nd Leg defeat of Juventus (aggregate 3-2) on 22nd March 1972.
On their journey to the UEFA Cup quarter-final, Wolves had travelled extensively throughout Europe - including a lengthy trip behind the Iron Curtain to play Carl Zeiss Jena in the previous round. Bill McGarry's team had performed superbly in the quarter-final first leg in Turin to earn a 1-1 draw courtesy of Jim McCalliog's volleyed goal. Juventus were, at that time, leading Serie A and would ultimately win the scudetto for the then fourteenth time in their history. The merit of Wolves' draw in Turin (and their victory at Molineux) was highlighted by the fact that Juventus also won Serie A the following season and reached the final of the European Cup in 1972-73.
Juventus legend John Charles had accompanied Wolves on their trip to Turin and predicted that the Italian team would be so disheartened by the result many of their top players would not make the journey to Wolverhampton for the second leg. Charles's prediction proved to be correct, but one player that did make the trip was 1966 World Cup finalist and goalscorer Helmut Haller. The German scored a late penalty for Juventus in reply to Danny Hegan's long range opener (incorrectly attributed to Frank Munro by narrator Bob Hall) and Derek Dougan's 52nd minute header - his ninth goal of Wolves' UEFA campaign.
Over 40,000 attended Molineux to witness a memorable night in Wolves' history as McGarry's team advanced to the semi-final and a two-legged encounter with Ferencvaros ( • Wolves v Ferencvaros, ... ) and ultimately an all-English final against Tottenham Hotspur ( • Wolves v Tottenham Hot... .

My grandad was on the pitch at the end of this match

[@1061andy]

i was there too - in fact it was a bigger attendance (40,000+) for this game than the Final leg vs spurs.

Can't thank you enough for this upload, Mercian. Fantastic memories. I was in the crowd as an 11 year-old and even though it was 'only' the quarter final, to this day it remains the biggest Wolves win of my lifetime. I remember a sizeable contingent of Juve supporters. Just a pity we can't all get in a time machine back to the early 70s and get well away from current mediocrity.

You could be in for another good run in this competition, this year.

@@scherben8870 Thanks. 48 years on, we play Sevilla in the quarter final on Tuesday 11th August. I don't think many of us who have accessed this clip would ever have dreamed we would be in the quarter final of the Europa League. An amazing feeling...

[@scherben8870]

@@Pragwo1f It could be United v Wolves yet. Sevilla will be tougher than our Copenhagen tie, but I still fancy you to go through. Obviously, I want United to win the trophy, but Wolves doing it instead would be good. Molineux deserves it; it being the best stadium in the Midlands.

Takes me back . I was there in the North Bank as a young kid. When Football was football not the money machine it is now.

Was at the match

[@stanmonzon5788]

What was the crowd attendance that day?

[@MrJeepsters]

I don't recognize Zoff.

[@michelepiva7490]

It wasn't Zoff, you are right. Zoff came to Juve only in 1972/73. The goalkeeper in this match is Piloni who was for a long long time the backup goalkeeper.
