May 1976 was the time when 30,000 Liverpool FC fans invaded the South Bank at Molineux, home to Wolverhampton Wanderers. We reveal the stories from 3 fans who were there.
Liverpool needed a draw to win the old first division title (now the premier league) and Wolves needed to win and hope Birmingham lost to avoid relegation, so the stakes where very high.
The attendance was 48,000+ that night, but most people who were there claim the actual attendance was much higher.
We'll let our story tellers explain.

I was there and one of the first in the ground. A policeman and I carried and young lad across the pitch to the dressing room cos he was getting a bit crushed as we were at the very front of the crowd. The policeman was not pleased with his compatriots on horseback who were directing the supporters on the street to the turnstiles not knowing the conditions ahead. The club opened the turnstiles early and, as I said, I helped a police officer with the shocked Liverpool supporter. I had my entrance money in my hand and passed it to the policeman saying I had not paid, he refused it and walked me back to the south bank and put me in the crowd. Yes there were massive support for Liverpool, this was just what we did, no pre conceived want for trouble, just to have a few bevvies, sing our songs and support our team to the max. Everybody I met in Wolves on that day had nothing but good words to say about us. On our way home the M6 was blocked which provided an opportuinity to have a "Motorway Party". I have always talked about that night with both great admiration for the way we supported our team and considering the amount of people in the crowd there was hardly any arrests. The other part of my admiration were the people from Wolverhampton, who treated us as both celebrity's and guests forre identfying we were only there for one reason. Thanks Wolverhampton and the police officer who recognised a genuine supporter and was a "proper copper". Dave

I'm was at the game as a Liverpool fan at the south end. We did not storm anything. We were sheperded by police horses towards a very few turnstiles and at 14 years of age I was almost crushed to death. I also witnessed no violence or fighting at that game. It was just a great night.

I was at that game, the game was full of Liverpool, Wolves and QPR fans - billed as game of the Century. I got there early - it was packed, I was in the South Bank and we scored first and we celebrated - no trouble from my point of view. The only trouble was Pool had already smashed the gates open, they were up the floodlights and up on the roof of the Waterloo Road. It was indeed a disaster waiting to happen, but thankfully it never happened.

I was there that day as a Wolves fan. Me and my two mates left school and went straight to the ground. T he North Bank queue was all the way down the road and we knew we had no chance of getting in. We went to the South Bank(which was the away end in those days) we went in with Liverpool fans who had broken the gates down. We slowly made our way down the terraces a big Liverpool fan saw the scarf in my pocket pulled it out. He then racially abused me and then punched me (I was only 14years old at the time). Luckily 4 or 5 Liverpool fans saw what happened and they grabbed him and told me they did not like people like that. They then took me to the front and asked a copper to take me out. They took me and my two mates across the pitch and into the North bank so we did see the game. The estimated attendance that day was something like 65,000 in the ground but for safety reason that had to say the attendance was that amount because capacity had been exceeded. After the game there were 3 massive firms of about 200 Wolves fans in each and they went about getting some retribution.(less said about that).That was the biggest away following in my lifetime and the fullest Molineux had ever been. I was at the Leeds game 4 years earlier when we stopped them doing the double. The attendance that day was 53,000( again there were more than that in the ground) but believe me there were many more at the Liverpool game and 20,000 Wolves and Liverpool fans locked out. The season after was when the wolves fans went into the South Bank and officially made it a home end again(like in the 50s apparently) I should know I was one of them and got my first season ticket. An amazing game we leading for so long but that was a great Liverpool team,

I was there with my friend Pete. We got there very early afternoon and it was rammed. We made our way around the edge of the ground alongside a brick wall. We ended up at a children's turnstile. They opened it and let us in and they said they could only charge kids entrance. Double bonus. What a day/night. YNWA

We were there, started off in the wolves end, saw the other end which was huge where the Liverpool fans where supposed to be. Fancied getting in that end so ran the length of the pitch and the bizzies didnt bat an eyelid. by the time we reached the 18yrd line the Liverpool fans were waving us to come, i looked around and all the reds in their end had followed us and the bizzies just herded us into the big end. The Liverpool fans were on the roof of the stands and up the floodlight pylons, it was incredible. To this day the biggest away following i have ever witnessed. champions again!

I was there too - I was a student and skipped lectures that day to travel down to Wolverhampton. There were Reds everywhere and we arrived mid afternoon. Queues were building up even then. There was a horrendous crush as the turnstiles for the South Bank were at the end of a cul de sac and the pressure just kept building up. Eventually, the gates burst open under the pressure and we were all swept in. What a great night that was.

Wolves mob started going round to the South Bank from the home end (the North bank) at the end of 1974-1975 season when I remember Dougan's last game v Leeds, they chased Leeds out of the South Bank. To go round to the away end was becoming a popular thing back then. That was a week before Leeds played in the European Cup Final. In 1975-1976 this increasingly happened, but the Wolves mob only made the South Bank the main home end of the Wolves firm from the start of games from 1976-77 really, after this game v Liverpool. But away fans would still be in there too, so after a year or two of mad fighting on the South Bank between 1976-78 v Leeds again, Chelsea, West Ham, Cardiff, Forest, a 6 foot metal fence was erected to divide the huge South Bank between home and away fans, with about 70% to home support, 30% to away support. But those one-and-a-half seasons with no fence between 1976-1978 were crazy. The North Bank was still the Wolves firms home end back during the 1975-76 season (for this game) and 30,000 scousers swarmed the South Bank and also in the side stands there was a fair few, they potentially could probably have taken the North Bank - but didn't. Anyway, it was very impressive away support, seen nothing ever like it. Leeds brought similar though slightly less when it was the title decider back in 1972 and lost 2-1 to Wolves handing the title to Derby. Towards the end of games this season, a mob of Wolves would often go round to the South bank to fight the away fans....but obviously not on this occasion (:-. They could only defend the North Bank due to numbers, neither Liverpool nor Leeds took it.

I remember that day a I it was yesterday. My aunt had come to my house and asked what I was up to that day. I said I was going to try and get into the match later that day. We left Lichfield at about 4pm and got to the ground about 5pm. I recall seeing a huge crowd, and it was frightening, as evermore people joined the back of the ‘queue’. Me and my aunt got to the turnstile and suddenly there was a massive crush. The gates broke and I remember a poor guy selling programmes inside being attacked, although suddenly a few older fans pushed the younger fans away from the unlucky guy. Thank goodness they did. We got into the stand and stood high at the back. I remember being so nervous as it seemed to take so long before we managed the win. As night fell, I remember feeling so proud to be a Red, and safe too, given the massive number of away fans, Wolves was a dangerous place to go in those days. That was my aunt’s first and last game of football. I remember her asking me if all games were like that one as it seemed a bit of a crush and very exciting. The 20 year old me shrugged and replied ‘Yeah, kind of a normal match, really’. I was in Heysel in 1985 and the terrible crush that night made me feel sick. I had obviously not realised how much the scary night almost ten years earlier had affected me. In Belgium, after a few hours of terror, I ran from the ground before kick off and never saw the game. Being truthful, our fans are both brilliant and awful at the same time as they do things that, but for luck, could have ended in disaster. But that night in Wolverhampton, it wasn’t a disaster, it was glorious and I was so happy. I still smile to myself that my auntie always thought that was a typical match day!

I was one of those that arrived early by train. Remember q’ing down a slope and gradually getting more crushed as time moved towards kick off. Eventually the gates was forced open by reds fans while police tried to stop us getting in by holding Alsatian dogs just inside the stadium but it was futile. Literally could have been another Hillsborough disaster 13 years earlier had the gates not been forced open.

I was there. We went with some of the teachers from our school (Page Moss Comp). The teachers had hired a mini-bus and asked who wants to go. There were a lot takers! I somehow got over the wall next to the exit gates. As I landed on the other side the gates opened and the hordes burst in. I don't know what happened to everyone else I was with as it really was chaos. The video mentioned someone going in through a toilet window. It may have been the same toilet window that that my dad's mate went through! It was the one and only time I ever ran on to the pitch and even then I nearly got nabbed by some pissed off copper. He sent me flying but I got up and skirted around him. Of course, that kind of thing will never happen again and a good job too! But it was an occasion I'll never forget.

Other than the incredible occasion I will never forget the streams of piss running around our feet down the terrace as people relieved themselves in situ . What a team that was , for me despite everything that has been achieved since , it was the era of the best Liverpool teams , the Paisley era.

Truth - I don't remember the crush being that bad.. But maybe bcs I have been in worse in which I could easily have been killed - and remember those. Perhaps was lucky. Didn't see any violence anywhere. Just a great night. I think I went by bus, but knew getting the bus back wasn't going to happen, so went to the station and after hours waiting got the train home and nobody asked us for a ticket or anything.

I was in the Waterloo Rd stand, aged 10, worried for the men that climbed up the pylon and also up in the rafters of the South Bank. We'd have gone down even if we had won, in the finish, because we were also dependent on results elsewhere. I also remember seeing QPR fans in the enclosure below my seat - it was a surreal night for a kid to experience. We had similar mayhem in the Cup replay at Molineux against Man United. We went two up in that one but lost again. Went to the 1-1 at Old Trafford but was shielded from the violence that day. Nastiest place I went to in the 70s was Boro. Nastiest place in the 80s was either Chelsea or West Ham. For clubs coming to Wolves, Liverpool and Man United because of the tens of thousands of ticketless fans. They'd create chaos in the town and around the ground.

I arrived as a Liverpool fan living in St albans , I drove to london to get the train to Wolverhampton , arriving at 3:30 and going straight to the ground , the turnstiles were opened early , but a massive queue meant that at on time i was yards past them and then back , until we were up against the exit gate , we were betting crushed by the surge until the gates burst and we all got in , i still had my entrance fee in my hand .. I settled for a spot half way up the massive south ban to watch the game , . when liverpool equalised the crowd surged forwad and i enned up at the fron , following the third goal i jumped on to the pitch , , the police could not even try to get us back .into the south bank , and I spent the last minutes of the game actually leaning against the goal posts . we surged onto the pitch at the final whistle , cant beleive they actually presented the trophy on the pitch , u was close enough to touch it :) and then made our way back to the Station to catch the last train to london , I stood all the way back it was rammed . when i finally got to london there was just time to have one pint before driving home .. i was stopped by a policeman as i parked had my car away from my house and was dancing down the street :) I did not see any trouble at all , it was just a sea of red in the south bank , there were a few reds in the north bank as well but thin they got taken out to join us .

I’ve heard so many red story’s from that night it became one of the Liverpool legendary stories. Looking at modern fans they don’t like to get into a stadium early never mind queueing up 3 hours early. Before the clowns start European finals you always get to the stadium early because reds know uefa are shit at running a final. Fans from other clubs don’t believe us the hatred for Liverpool is funny because they hate watching us being different to other fans. Most Liverpool fans don’t hate we just love our club that’s the difference

How football should be played? This was an exception in their draw-away, win-at home philosophy. Liverpool bored their way to championships and European Cups so much they had to bring in the 3 points for a win system. Some of us remember this. Clemence must have been an expert on football stitching. He examined them for 20 seconds at a time before bowling out to a defender only for it to be returned. They brought in a rule to stop that eventually. Yes, very exciting.

Liverpool carved out 3 consecutive 0-0 draws at Old Trafford using the system described. Footage of Liverpool's European away legs should be used to try and cure insomnia, I think it could really work. Maybe you're only young enough to read the record books but some of us have memories of the details.

Then the "Donkey" Kindon scoring that goal, everyone was stunned. 100's of Liverpool fans literally pushed through the NORTH BANK along side the old kids pen which pushed the crowd together in the middle nearly crushing everyone!
