Jimmy Mullen Blooded at 16 and still going strong in his mid-30s. The Geordie was the ‘left’ part of the club’s feared post-war wing combination, with an extraordinary ability to cross on the run. His death in 1987 led to the club’s Former Players Association being formed.

Frank Munro Much-admired and elegant defender who had been viewed as an inside-forward back home in a country for whom he won nine caps. One of Ronnie Allen’s later and best signings for the club, he is in the all-time top 20 Wanderers appearance-makers.

Andy Mutch Bouncing pay cheques were a feature of Molineux life when Sammy Chapman brought Andy Mutch south in 1986. But the striker played a huge part in Wolves’ renaissance with his 106 goals for the club, the vast majority of them in partnership with Steve Bull.

Geoff Palmer What a wonderful local-boy-made-good story this is! The Cannock-born full-back was a fixture in the club’s defence for well over a decade, with two League Cup triumphs, a substantial taste of the captaincy and some semi-final heartbreak along the way.

Phil Parkes Could there be a more popular inductee than the guy who embraces Wolverhampton life as much as anyone from the playing ranks? And to think he was born in West Bromwich! Desperately unlucky to miss out on Wembley glory, this master story teller is pure gold.

Derek Parkin Recognised as the best uncapped English full-back of his generation and might have been even more formidable had he remained as a right-back rather than being switched to no 3. Has played more Wolves games than any other man alive or dead – what an honour!

John Richards Was first spotted in a schools tournament and blossomed into such a feared finisher that, in another era, he would have won many more than his solitary senior England cap. Was the club’s top all-time scorer for nearly a decade and a half. He was pure dynamite!

Bill Slater His story is a truly incredible one….from playing in an FA Cup final as an amateur to serving Wolves as a part-timer to captaining a winning team at Wembley to being named Footballer of the Year. Has an OBE, CBE and England caps on top of all that.

Mike Stowell He didn’t play in the top flight but he has done pretty much everything else in his outstanding career. Tall and commanding, he exuded confidence and huge loyalty in becoming Wolves’ all-time most used keeper. Now he is a champion coach and title-winner to boot.

Roy Swinbourne What might have become of this sizzling centre-forward had fate not dealt him the cruellest hand with a career-ending injury in his mid-20s? Plundered goals against the cream of England and Europe and has thankfully been a class act in business as well.

Andy Thompson Started as an Albion midfielder and, over a decade later, was hailed as an outstandingly consistent Molineux full-back – one who despatch a mean penalty. This double lower-division title winner was also a Sherpa Van Trophy hero and is a Wolves fan to boot.

Graham Turner As if winning successive lower-division titles and a Wembley cup final aren’t enough, this boyhood Wolves fan also happens to be the man who brought Steve Bull to Molineux. Very much one of those who led the club away from the 1980s brink.

Dave Wagstaffe A whole generation of Molineux loyalists were thrilled when a Hall of Fame place was found for the winger who lit up the club for well over a decade. What a provider he was for Derek Dougan, John Richards and co! And sometimes a spectacular scorer, too.

Dennis Westcott The tag ‘goal machine’ aptly fits a no 9 whose rampaging spanned the war years and those before and after. His scoring tally of 124 in 144 peacetime games included a then club-best 43 in 1938-39, the highlight a Cup semi-final four-timer against Grimsby.

Bert Williams The best and most famous goalkeeper Wolves have ever had – full of daring, agility and poise. Not for nothing was he nicknamed The Cat. Won 24 England caps as well as FA Cup and League Championship medals and was awarded an MBE in his 90s.

Dennis Wilshaw He was never full-time at Wolves but won two League title medals, was close to a place in Stan Cullis’s team of 1949 FA Cup heroes and scored ten goals in 12 England games. What might he have achieved if he hadn’t devoted much of his working life to teaching?

Billy Wright The most golden Wanderer of the lot. Immortalised for winning 105 England caps – the vast majority as captain – and a Wolves first-teamer for 20 years. Utterly loved by all who knew him and has a statue and a showpiece stand in his honour at the stadium.

1954 conquerors of Honved Molineux’s most famous ever game was not a League blockbuster, nor a big cup-tie. It was a friendly – in name at least. This titanic clash was a matter of national pride, followed avidly by the whole country and brilliantly won by Stan Cullis’s men.

2003 Play-off Final Winners For many fans, May 26, 2003, was a day without rival; the Bank Holiday afternoon on which Wolves blew Sheffield United away to reach the Premier League for the first time. Three first half goals, then a Matt Murray penalty save – could it get any better?
