Here is Bones, orange picking in Greece in 1984 but the Wolves scarf is with him.
 
Shortly after the photo on was taken, the tree broke and the party were sent to the ground. The farmer wasn’t over happy about his broken tree, but carried on providing good lunches. Not sure where the wine bottles were hidden but they were surely there somewhere (picture to be added).

Phil and Evelyn Burns - Saturday 8th October 2005
Somewhat more recent was Phil and Evelyn Burns’ wedding. The ceremony was held at the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Balheary, Co Dublin in Ireland and the reception was at the Irish Golf and Country Club of Roganstown north of Dublin. Congratulations to Phil and Evelyn. London Wolves member Phil was ably supported by former member Ian Baker as an Usher and WWLSC were also represented by Roy Eagles and Ruth Evans, and “Pint Sized” Paul Coles. Paul and Roy are propping Phil (aka “Phil the beer Burns” up in the lower picture. Thanks to Roy for the pix and Paul for the details and many congratulations from London Wolves to Evelyn and Phil.

Some thoughts from Tony Roche, lifelong Wolves fan, WWLSC member, and Sun reporter who couldn’t make the 40th dinner
FAO Stuart Earl and Dave Slape... many thanks for wonderful publications. So many faces, so many memories.
I was not a member when you made the first trip v Plymouth. My 'debut' with WWLSC on the coach was with Steve Broughton (now a pro musician in France), Colin Cutts and Steve Roe for the home game against Hull City (4-0, Dougan hat-trick).
Still feel huge slump when I recall that awful 1-4 flop away to Palace that handed Coventry the title, still remember how excited I felt earlier that season when Steve and I made our way to The Valley to witness a solid 3-1 win and starting to think it could be a really good season.
So, 40 years down the line, the club excels at The Valley again. What a fabulous night it sounds like and how I wish I hadn't been in South Africa, listening to a week of rugby World Cup politics and arguments.
Would love to have seen Ernie Hunt and Hugh McIlmoyle again, paid my respects to Dave Wagstaffe and Frank Munro, shared an ale with John Richards and Ken Hibbitt, two lads I got to know so well in newspaper work terms during their heydays.
The club has been such a success that you two in particular should receive some form of medal. Reading the two publications Dave sent me made me so proud that I'll keep them somewhere special, along with the progs I've saved from my first Wolves games attended in 1961 (all four were away games and with a reluctant dad who supported Arsenal).
Glad bloody Hoddle has gone, never took to the man. Things are going to be tough for a while, but at least I sense a mood of optimism after the tedious draw-fest from God's favourite son. When Hoddle dies he'll probably come back as a pools coupon as punishment for crimes in his managerial life.
Take care both of you. This club would wither and die without you. I'm very proud to have been a member, very proud indeed. TR
