Great print capturing the jubilant moment of Wolverhampton Wanderers' League Cup victory in the 1970s, featuring two of the team's celebrated stars, Derek Dougan and Derek Parkin. The image, taken by renowned photographers PA Photos, showcases the raw emotion and excitement of the team's triumph. Derek Dougan, a forward of Irish descent, was a key player for Wolves during the 1960s and 1970s. He joined the club in 1962 and went on to score 128 goals in 336 appearances. Dougan's talent and determination on the pitch earned him the nickname "The Destroyer" and he was instrumental in leading Wolves to the League Championship title in 1962-63 and the League Cup in 1962 and 1974. Derek Parkin, a versatile defender, joined Wolves in 1967 and made 337 appearances for the club over the next decade. Parkin was known for his toughness and tenacity, and he played a crucial role in Wolves' defensive line during their successful periods in the 1960s and 1970s. The League Cup final of the 1973-74 season saw Wolves take on Manchester City at Wembley Stadium. With the score tied 1-1 after extra time, the match went to a penalty shootout. Dougan and Parkin, both confident in their abilities, stepped up to take the final two penalties for Wolves. Dougan scored, and Parkin followed suit, securing a 3-2 victory for the team. This print captures the elation and relief on the faces of Dougan and Parkin as they celebrate their team's hard-earned victory. The image is a testament to their dedication, skill, and team spirit, and it remains an iconic moment in the history of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.
