(Only 21 so I’m only voting for players I have seen in my time)
Bert Williams, Derek Parkin, Frank Munro, Billy Wright, Steve Bull, Derek Dougan, Peter Broardbent, Dave Wagstaffe, Kenny Hibbitt, Mike Bailey.
BARING IN MIND IM ONLY 22 SO I DONT NO MANY OF THE GOLDEN OLDIES!!!
BULL, BILLY WRIGHT, DEREK DOUGAN, ROBBIE KEANE, INCE, LESCOTT, STOWELL, MURRAY, BROADBENT (MY DADS HERO SO HE MUST HAVE BEEN GOOD!) AND IM STRUGGLING NOW SO IM GOING FOR………MO CAMARA! LEGEND IN HIS ON LEAGUE!
You should do this by age groups. How can a 20 year old pick from players from the 50s, etc if they have never seen them play?
I am 37, so my opinion on some of these players is heavily influenced by my Dad and Grandad.

That was difficult - and like others I have chosen only those I have seen play.
I’m amazed how many people have left out Parkin, absolutely pure and utter class!
DF - Parkin, Thompson, Munro, Mcalle
(Munro & Mcalle were the centre partnership that had Denis Law, Colin Bell, Francis Lee & Rodney Marsh all `in their pocket` when we won the league cup in 1974 against Manchester City!! Imagine if we could have that class again!!
MF - Ince, Wagstaffe, Kightly
AT - Bull, Richards, Keane
1. Steve Bull
2. Robbie Keane
3. Billy Wright
4. John Richards
5. Andy Gray (considering he scored the goal that won us our last bit of major silverware)
6. Kenny Hibbitt
7. Ron Flowers
8. Dean Richards
9. Dennis Irwin
10. Paul Ince
11. Andy Mutch

Top of the “pile” has to be…….. Robert Taylor (!)
I also picked 11 players but, unlike those signings, I wanted to get value for money :-p
I see most of you have missed out on one of the best little wingers ever to grace the hallowed Molineux turf I refer of course to the one and only Norman Deeley.
In no particular order
Steve Bull
Billy Wright
Dave Wagstaffe
John Richards
Derek Dougan
Paul Ince
Derek Parkin
Johnny Hancocks
Bert Williams
Jo Lescott
and it pains me to omit the likes of Peter Broadbent, Andy Thomson, Mike Bailey, Emlyn Hughes, Andy Mutch etc.
The best team ever:
1. Murray
2. Emlyn Hughes
3. Mike Bailey
4. Billy Wright
5. Kenny Hibbitt
6. Steve Daley
7. Andy Mutch
8. John Richards
9. Steve Bull
10. Robbie Keane
11. Derek Dougan
1. B Wright
2. P Broadbent
3. R Flowers
4. J Mullen
5. M Bailley
6. J Richards
7. K Hibbitt
8. F Munro
9. R Keane
10. S Bull
Would have loved room for: Knowles, Waggstaffe, Williams, De Wolfe, Parkin, Dougan, Ince But…..
Only 15…

I can’t believe no one has chosen Psycho!
Keith Downing always put in a “Full shift”.He would cover every blade of grass, never flinch from a tackle (Bothroyd take note),chipped in with the odd goal & rarely gave less than 100%
It is always a very difficult choice when you have generations of players who made their name in a Wolves shirt. Here is my first XI and their close seconds in 4-4-2 formations although it would have easier to make up four teams.
Williams; Bailey, Wright, Shorthouse, Thomson; Hancock, Broadbent, Dougan, Flowers; Richards, Mullen.
Finlayson; Stuart, Lescott, Munro, Parkin; Kightly, Knowles, Hibbitt, Wagstaff; Bull, Swimbourne.
These 10 still leave a lot of greats out, but here goes (not in order)

Glad to see one mention of Bill Slater, a great captain and centre half who led us to our last FA Cup win and would have celebrated the double but for a fluke 40 yard goal by Burnley against Man City (I think). Those NW clubs knew who to stick together! Bill was a firm but fair player as well as a gentleman who went on to figure in national sport.
I’m glad to see Frankie Munro in so many lists, great memories of him when he played for us. I saw him last home game in his wheelchair beneath the Stan Cullis stand. He is struggling a bit but tries to remain philosophical about his lot in life. Pity the Wolves chose not to give him a testimonial as he could do with some help now.
I reckon wolfmanmac (47) is pretty close but I would add Stephen George Bull as a sub.
It is harder to leave out 10 great players let alone pick the top ten, however here goes
