The pair made almost 900 appearances and scored over 400 goals for the club between them, during a glittering career in gold'n'black.

Their last 'Bully and Mutch Reunited' show, the first of its nature, took place at the Cleveland Arms on Stowheath Lane last September.

The 260 tickets for the event sold out in three hours of going on sale, with promoter William Adamson immediately booking another date.

They are back on stage at the venue next Thursday night, almost 30 years since their legendary strike partnership first began when Mutch moved to Molineux from non-league Southport in February 1986.

Bully arrived from West Brom the following November and they would go on to be team-mates for the next six-and-a-half years.

They would spearhead the team to three promotions from the old Fourth to Second Divisions, with Mutch also on target as Wolves won the Sherpa Van Trophy at Wembley in 1988.

Adamson said: "No one had ever put them together for a night before, but even we were overwhelmed by the reaction to the first night here. The tickets sold very quickly.

"We were turning people away after that, so we wanted to put another event on to make sure those who didn't see the first time had another chance.

"Equally, those who were here in September had such a good time that many of them were telling me they would definitely come again. It was a no-brainer."

Bully and Mutch will talk separately at the show before they are put together after an interval, with the questions posed by Wombourne's Sky Sports and Talk Sport commentator Nigel Pearson.

Only standard tickets are left available, priced at £10. There will be professional photo opportunities on the night, costing £15.
