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.

Just buy them
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Small
Used to wear sliders all the time, figured i'd switch it up. These are super comfortable, probably the best material underwear I own. Great to just lounge around it or wear everyday. Fit is really good, I got a small and about 29-30" waist. Good bang for your buck too. I've washed them a handful of times and they hold up great, fit great and dont' shrink.

Good underwear. Husband likes them.
Color: Black, Size: Large
Husband wears XL and XL fit well. This is the second pack I got for him. They are decent quality, look and feel nice, not baggy yet not too tight anywhere. They are somewhat thin (but still supportive) and do not make him sweat more so he loves that. No problems washing (they didn’t shrink). Will continue to repurchase these.

Comfortable
Color: Black,navy,burgundy,brown, Size: Medium
I have had a lifetime of different briefs, some name brand, some generic. I am 165 lbs, wear Medium, and these are closest to feeling commando of anything I’ve ever worn. Comfortable, not too tight waist and legs, and yes silky touch yet not slinky. Maybe not for support wear, but casual and cool comfort, the “Cat’s meow”. I just came on to order some more

Great fabric - pouch too small!
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
First, the fabric used is wonderfully soft and comfortable. It;s the first thing noticed when package was opened. Strange, but the elastic waistband is about 1/2", very similar to a woman's style panty. But it's comfortable and easily acceptable. The main problem is that the pouch that holds your "stuff" in place, is oddly and unnaturally small. Small enough where this average man's "stuff" tends to fall out of the pouch on one side or the other. I sleep in my underwear, and every time I did with these, I awoke with the front pouch off to the side and everything down there was hanging outside of the underwear. They also seem to do well through a wash cycle. However, if the main reason for wearing underwear is to keep your stuff in place, these fail from the beginning. I ordered another brand from overseas, and they had the exact same problems as these! I wonder if that's just how they make them outside of the USA. The Bottom Line? Uncle Steve Disapproved!

Premium cotton underwear at a modest price. Highly recommend!
Color: Multicolora6-4 Pack, Size: X-Large
Bought my husband 2 variety packs of these, and they are still great over 2 years in. High quality cotton briefs are breathable, colors are vibrant, and the fit is spot on. A good value at this price point compared to designer brands, and the product overall exceeds expectations in terms of comfort level, durability and appearance.
