18 players you forgot played for Wolves - from Tottenham Hotspur icon to controversial World Cup winner

From a world-class goalkeeper to a host of failed wonderkids, here are 18 players you may have forgotten once played for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolverhampton Wanderers, deep-rooted in Premier League and Championship history, have had a rollercoaster journey in the top two tiers of English football, as well as some brief campaigns in the third tier.

Some arrived at Molineux on a temporary loan basis, whereas others were actually around for multiple years - yet many Wolves supporters will have completely forgotten their presence.

Without further ado, here are the 18 players we’ve picked out that may well have slipped your mind. How many of these did you know once donned the Old Gold?
