Few men have made a greater impact on football than Stan Cullis. He was a fine centre half, but Cullis became an even greater manager, winning three Football League championships and two FA Cups for the Wolves. This is his story.

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.

About the Author

Jim Holden was signed up for Wolves by Stan Cullis when he was just three days old. It was a high spirited deal made between the Iron Manager and his great pal Bill Holden, football correspondent of the Daily Mirror.

The baby boy's passion for football was assured, but he didn't quite make the grade in the old gold shirts.

He followed his father into journalism instead, and became sports writer for the Daily Express and contributor to the magazine World Soccer.

Poor design and final product
Color: Stainless Steel/Black/Stainless Steel/Red Black
The watch looks nice. That is the only good part. It works by being wound by motion when one wears it. Should I do jumping jacks to keep it wound? I dont sleep with it on! Every morning it is not running and the date is wrong until it gets shaken. The band is hard to get it on and hard to get it to come off. It sometimes falls off though. I was trying to replace my older Timex watch and now I am back to wearing the old one that never had these problems.

Love it! Though overpriced at MSRP
Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue, Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue
I love this watch! I had it in my cart for weeks, waiting for an excuse to buy it. The thing holding me back was the $299 MSRP and price on Amazon. I noticed it went down to $200 while I was shopping on Amazon, so I immediately completed the purchase. At Grey Market retailers, this goes for about $160 (which I think is the perfect price). Unfortunately the Snoopy edition proved difficult to find at that price as it was sold out everywhere. Even sold out on the Timex website at $299. I still recommend it, but it's all about what you're willing to pay. For me, $200 was an acceptable price and worth it to me. As a snoopy lover, I'll give this to my kids one day! Not a doubt in my mind it won't last for a very long time as it uses a Citizen movement!
