Great print capturing a historic moment in Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club's history! This image, taken in the 1940s or 1960s, shows Wolves captain Billy Wright (left) sharing a hearty handshake with Manager Stanley Cullis (right) after their team had defeated Russian powerhouse Spartak Moscow 4-0. At the time, Wolves were considered an underdog team in European football, having only recently joined the European Cup competition. Spartak Moscow, on the other hand, were a formidable force in Eastern European football, having won the Soviet Top League title multiple times. The match took place at Molineux Stadium, and the Wolves team put on a stunning display of football, leaving the Russian side stunned. Goals from Johnny Hancocks, Dennis Wilshaw, and two from Billy Wright himself secured the impressive victory. This image is a testament to the determination and skill of the Wolves team during this era. Billy Wright, who went on to become the most capped English player of all time, led the team with his strong defensive play and captained them to three League Championship titles and an FA Cup win. Stanley Cullis, who managed Wolves from 1949 to 1958, is credited with building the team into a formidable force in English football. His innovative tactics and shrewd signings helped establish Wolves as a top team both domestically and in Europe. This print is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club and the remarkable achievements of its players and managers. It's a must-have for any Wolves fan or football history enthusiast.
