The view of the Statue of Billy Wright outside the Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton. The tributes are for Sir Jack Hayward a local lad who owned the Wolves football club and spent £100 million of his own money on the club before selling it for £10. Sir Jack died on the 13th Jan 2015.

It is hard to believe now but this was the most successful club in the 'English' league (let alone the Midlands) during the 1950's. They even surpassed 'The Villa' & that is hard to believe. They almost got the league & cup double but were pipped to the post by Burnley. Strangely both clubs are the new boys in the Premiership for the 2009/10 season - I won't tell you who the other bunch are. Will they stay up? I hope so.

The inscription on the pedestal is BILLY WRIGHT CBE. (CBE is Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). Billy Wright (1924–1994) was an English footballer who spent his entire career at Wolverhampton Wanderers. He was the first footballer in the world to earn 100 international caps. His final total was 105, of which 90 were as England team captain.

Billy Wright played made his debut as a Wolverhampton Wanderers first team player in 1939 at the age of fifteen, though because of the onset of World War II, many regular players had already been called up, so his official debut was in 1946 in an FA Cup tie against Lovells Athletic .....

He became club captain following Stan Cullis's retirement in 1948 and played until 1959, years during which Wolves had their most successful period.
