Legends

www.wolvesheroes.com has no intention of taking it upon itself to decide upon the best players in Wolves’ history, so this Legends section is made up simply of the only 76 men who have played 200 or more senior matches in the famous gold and black. Appearances relate only to recognised peace-time competitions, so wartime football is not included in the stats, nor are friendlies, not even those that were played to packed houses at Molineux in the 1950s. The number above the player’s name is his position in the pecking order of appearance-makers while the number on the same line as his name is his total of Wolves outings. Appearances include those made from the substitutes’ bench.
