If you have a stand named after you, you must be synonymous with the club in question, and that's the case with Billy Wright and Wolves. Wright won 3 League titles whilst at Molineux and made over 500 appearances. He also has a statue outside the ground. His international career was pretty remarkable as well. He was the first international (not just for England, but in the world) to win 100 caps, earning 105 in total, and was captain 90 times (including at 3 World Cups). His managerial career was not as impressive; he was in charge at Arsenal during an unsuccessful period in the mid-60s. He was married to Joy, one of the Beverley Sisters, an early UK pop group, during an era when WAGs weren't even a 'thing'.
