Jimmy Mullen.
Jimmy Mullen - Speedy
left-winger who gave Wolves 23 years service. He was given his debut by
manager Frank Buckley when only 16. Three League titles and an FA Cup -
not a bad haul, Mullen had played for England and in 1950 made history
by becoming his country's first substitute in a full international when
he replaced Stan Mortensen against Belgium. 15 minutes later he scored.
He played in both the 1950 and 1954 World Cup finals. He helped Wolves
in 1954 become champions of England when the wing play of him on the
left and Johnny Hancocks on the right was a feature of the side. He was
also a regular member of the team who again won the title in 1957–8 and
1958–9. 486 apps, 112 goals.
