The dramatic claim that Cullis's Wolves team were 'champions of the
world' after beating Honved in 1954 sparked the creation of the
European Cup tournament. That, in itself, would guarantee his place
in soccer history. There is much more, however, to the story of
Stan Cullis. He emerged from a bleak childhood to be appointed
captain of Wolves in the week of his 20th birthday, and at the age
of 22 he became the youngest skipper of the England national side.
Cullis was a great player; Ferenc Puskas, the great Hungarian,
described him as 'the most classical centre-half of his time'.
Cullis became an even greater manager, thanks in part to
'long-ball' tactics that provoked endless controversy. His
reputation was worldwide. When Wolves brutally sacked him in 1964
the first offer of a new job came from Italian club Juventus. He
turned it down. Stan Cullis fully merited the unique title he loved
to live up to; he was the Iron Manager.
