Steve Bull. Quite simply the greatest goalscorer in the club’s history ..
We have put together a list of the top ten Wolves players of all time.
We know you might not agree with some of them, it even caused debate in the office.
What do you think? Who have we missed?
Present players excluded, for now!
Stan Cullis led Wolves to their first league titles and European glory. A cultured centre-half and former England captain as a manager he became known by Wolves fans as the Master of Molineux after steering them to three league titles in the 1950s.
Cullis’ Wolves scored a hat-trick of wins over top European clubs Moscow Spartak, Honved and Moscow Dynamo. The Second World War interrupted Cullis’ playing career and he won only 12 England caps although he also played in 20 wartime matches.
He captained England against Romania in the last international before the outbreak of war at the age of just 22, then the youngest player to wear the skipper’s armband.
He made 155 appearances for the club and would have made many more had the war not halted the league programme for seven seasons.
Bill Slater
