They need to be looking at doing more than that ie a mural on the Subway/Stadium wall, for example. Although I was too young, the Wolves team of the 50′s must be the greatest team to ever come from the West Midlands!

Top man.
Saw him play over 50 years ago.Possibly the best fullback ever to play for Wolves.
Condolences to his family. I for one will never forget him.

one of the greatest players to ever wear the old gold and black, my dad took me to watch the wolves in the fifties and what a side.Everyone talks of the great forwards we had but for me the defence which bill was a member of was magnificent.there were no superstars in that team but great players
