Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club

There have been many great players and managers in Wolves' history aswell as many people involved with the club off the pitch. Here is a list of some of the former players/managers etc. who in my opinion deserve the status of Wolves legends. Obviously there are others not on the list but i can't inlude them all.

Billy Wright- Billy spent his whole career at Wolves and earned 105 England caps (90 as captain) during his sparkling playing career. He was the first player ever to represent his country 100 times and made his Wolves debut in a b team game at the age of just 14. His first team debut came at the age of 15. He won the league 3 times aswell as the FA cup as captain of Wolves and is the fourth most capped Englishmen. He went on to manage Arsenal and after retirement from football he was awarded a CBE for services to football and was inducted into English football's hall of fame in 2002. His amazing Wolves career earned him a statue outside Molineux stadium and a stand being named after him.

Stan Cullis- Cullis led Wolves to become one of the top teams in England as captain seeing them finish runners up in the 1st division in 1938/39 aswell as reaching the FA cup final in 39 before World War 2 took away some of the best years of his playing career. He also captained his country on one occasion. He became manager of Wolves at the age of just 31 and won the FA cup in 1948. He went on to win the FA cup again aswell as the League 3 times. Cullis was inducted into English football's hall of fame in 2003 and also has a stand at Molineux named after him.

Derek Parkin- Parkin holds the record for most senior appearances by a player for Wolverhampton Wanderers — 609, including 501 League games, also a club record. He played 50 or more competitive matches in a season for Wolves no fewer than five times — another record — and in seasons 1968-69 and 1969-70, he took part in every single league and cup match played by the club.

Steve Bull- Bully broke no less than four goal scoring records in his 13 years at Wolves including, the most goals scored by a Wolves player 306, the most goals scored by a Wolves player in a single season 52 and most hat tricks scored by a Wolves player 18. He made 464 appearances for Wolves and earned 13 England caps. He is also the only player to be picked for England while playing in the 3rd tier of English football.

Sir Jack Hayward- Hayward became the owner and chairman of his boyhood football team Wolves after buying the club in May 1990 for £2.1million. Some have estimated that he has spent £60m of his personal fortune on redeveloping their Molineux Stadium and players for the club during the 17 years for which he was owner - more moderate figures appear to run from £20m to £40m. He has both a street and Wolves' training ground named after him and in his time as manager Wolves reached the Premier League for a season by winning the playoffs in 2003.

Others who deserve a mention- Derek Dougan, Dennis Westcott, Dave Jones, Jolean Lescott.
