Hall of Fame

Diogo Jota
Diogo Jota Diogo Jota has been honoured at his first English club by being inducted immediately into Wolves’ hall of fame. The Portuguese forward was killed in the tragic car crash that also claimed the life of his brother, Andre. The hall of fame committee, who run independently of the club, have moved swiftly following the massive outpouring of grief from supporters and the huge shrine that grew in the player’s memory outside Molineux. Inductees into the most coveted part of the club’s museum are normally chosen after weeks or even months of deliberation and discussion

Mike Bailey
Mike Bailey The ultimate leader and warrior who gave over a decade of his career to the gold and black cause. Wolves’ midfield was always a more powerful unit with him in. Honoured by England with two senior caps and the 1967 Midlands Footballer of the Year award.

Alf Bishop
Alf Bishop The second Wolves 1908 FA Cup winner to be inducted and what a leader this defender sounds. He showed his toughness by bouncing back from a broken jaw for the final, his durability and longevity later earning him the captaincy in a stay of 382 games.

Peter Broadbent
Peter Broadbent What a talent! To many fans of a certain age, he was a favourite among a team of legends. Genial and with a razor-sharp cutting edge, his goals and ‘assists’ would make him worth a king’s ransom today. An England star of his day, too – of course.

Jack Brodie
Jack Brodie Talk about being in on things from day one… utility man ’Jack’ was a founder member of the club, born in the town and later to serve as a director. His 65 first-team games included the 1889 FA Cup final and he also won three England caps.

Major Frank Buckley
Major Frank Buckley Visionary’ is a word often applied to the Boer War veteran. Not only was he ahead of his time in seeing football’s future, he developed a brilliant youth policy at Molineux and set the seeds for the greatness that followed under Stan Cullis.

Steve Bull
Steve Bull Well, he has a stand named after him, so he has to be in there! He became the youngest individual inductee to date and is still a very frequent visitor to Molineux, where those 306 goals and numerous battle scars help to assure him of the warmest of welcomes.

Stan Cullis
Stan Cullis One outstanding career – as a player – was interrupted by the war and then ended early by injury. So the former Wolves and England captain carved out another as a brilliant, trophy-laden manager, who apparently had a thing about discipline.

Jack Davies
Jack Davies Jack Davies helped see to it that Stan Cullis stayed at Wolves as a player, then talked the Molineux management out of giving up on a young Billy Wright. If he had achieved nothing else in around 50 years as a trainer – and he did loads! – those acts were enough.

Robbie Dennison
Robbie Dennison ‘Wizard of the wing’ is a very appropriate term here. For a decade, the genial Irishman glided across Molineux, providing quality service for others and scoring almost 50 goals. Did someone once point out he had a flair for scoring spectacularly in big games?

Derek Dougan
Derek Dougan The prince of entertainers would have loved this accolade. So sad that it had to be posthumous. The Doog was one of the game’s most recognised show-men and ended his club-hopping years by finding Molineux to be his spiritual home and stage.
Malcolm Finlayson
Malcolm Finlayson In another era, the brave Scot – the only Wolves keeper ever to win two League title medals – would have had a host of internationals caps. But he headed for England when the practice was frowned upon by some and had to settle for club glory, lots of it!

Ron Flowers
Ron Flowers Another to have captained his club and country. This most famous of all Wath Wanderers left Yorkshire to make the West Midlands his home and contributed hugely to the glory years at Molineux. Unlike many England players, he also knew how to take a penalty.

Joe Gardiner
Joe Gardiner Bachelor Joe was virtually married to Wolves after slipping through the north-east net, emerging as not only an excellent pre-war wing-half but also as Stan Cullis’s right-hand man for donkey’s years and, later, as a scout for much longer than that.

Johnny Hancocks
Johnny Hancocks Wolves have never had a more feared and explosive right-winger than this tiny son of Shropshire. Johnny was scared of flying, otherwise he would have won many more England caps, and he remains the club’s fourth highest scorer of all time.

Billy Harrison
Billy Harrison Like Jackery Jones, an FA Cup winner with Wolves in 1908, the speedy winger scoring a beauty in the final at Crystal Palace. Played almost 350 matches for the club and was such an expert of his trade that he subsequently signed for Manchester United.

Sir Jack Hayward
Sir Jack Hayward Did so much for the club by taking control and leading them away from any lingering threat of oblivion. Massively generous with a sense of fun that lit up any room, he financed not only team rebuilding but also the first stadium redevelopment. A true giver.

Kenny Hibbitt
Kenny Hibbitt The dream goal-scoring midfielder, even at Wembley. Discovered for a pittance and then a thorn in the side of opponents far and wide with his industry, fierce shooting and will to win. Just look again at our Legends area to see everything he achieved for the club.

Jackery Jones
Jackery Jones Shropshire-born defender who arrived in this world the year Wolves were formed and racked up over 330 outings at a time when games were less plentiful than today. Became the club trainer and lived up to yesteryear stereotypes by regularly smoking a pipe.

John McAlle
John McAlle It took time for Wolves to identify the best position for ‘Scouse’, who struck up a long and dependable pairing with Frank Munro in the centre of the club’s defence. Outstayed his partner by four years and was never anything but a fully committed campaigner.
