This decade opened with the club donating the "Holder Cup" in memory of Roger Holder, to the Birmingham A.F.A. for competition between fourth teams.  Having donated the cup, we then proceeded to become its first winners in 1970-71.

The club then went through a somewhat indifferent spell on the pitch and in fact our next major honour came to one of our long serving members when Cecil Patten was made President of the Association in 1972, a fitting tribute in the Golden Jubilee season of the club, both events being celebrated by a Dinner at the school when the chief guest was Jim Finney, the World Cup referee.  Then began a period when there was quite a lot of rebuilding within the club, new pitches came into use, new members were attracted and under David Pointon's and Dave Winzor's captaining a large number of school boys came into the teams.  People like Brian Knowles, Paul Hughes and Chris Hallam became stalwart members.  With another influx of school boys at the end of the decade, including Mark Howard, Tony Gallagher, Andy Husselbee and Dave Alston, we were able to finish the seventies with success on the field, with the first team winning the Premier Division of the A.F.A. for the first time since 1954.

The spirit within the club continued to grow with an increase in social and fund raising functions, ranging from the ever popular ladies dinners to rather different "ladies nights" at venues undisclosed to older members.  Bonfire night became an established club event with a firework display and disco, though on one occasion this proved to be an embarrassment to the 1st Xl in the next days match against West Midlands Fire Service of all people, when one player had to leave the field to be sick!  Kenny Millard took on the captaincy of the fourth team for a successful period, before retiring, and "Millard's Babes" experienced the delights of having a match held up whilst everyone searched for Ken's contact lens.  Other characters and stories have already become old favourites.  Dave Winzor's excuses for turning up late, Bill Groves's announcing on six-a-side days after a few pints "The team now playing on pitch A are now 2-0 down on pitch B".  The Silhill "horn man" will for ever be etched on all our goalkeepers' memories and all our players will long remember a certain Black Country referee who on one occasion informed all twenty two players before the game that he had just had a "vasectomy".  The same referee once felt compelled to ask an Old Wulfs player "who's reffing this game, you or me?"  The reply from the touchline was "Neither of you".
