High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stan Cullis (25 October 1916 ? 28 February 2001) was a professional footballer and manager, most notably for Wolverhampton Wanderers. Cullis joined Wolverhampton Wanderers as a teenager after a trial at Bolton Wanderers, signing professionally within a week of his arrival. He quickly moved up through the youth and reserve ranks and made his senior debut on 16 February 1935 in a 2?3 defeat at Huddersfield Town. He had to wait until the 1936?37 season though before he became first choice, when he replaced Bill Morris, and swiftly became club captain.
