I loved the way the LEGEND kept us waiting every year to sign a new deal. I loved the way the LEGEND did jack $$$$ for his last two full seasons with us, despite picking up a huge wage.
I loved the way the LEGEND believed he should be our manager. Not only that, I love way the LEGEND believed we owed it to him as he had been such a LEGEND since he came to Molineux.
I love the way out of all the 'offers' he kept telling us he had on the table, the LEGEND finally ended up at Swindle Town, taking orders from a Midget called Dennis.

I just can't buy into the "Ince was a Wolves legend". How many games did he play for us? How many years did he hold out in the summer not sure if he'd come back? The first year he was here he was good, the prem year his lack of speed was exploited, our midfield was ripped to shreds when he was in there, remember him forlornly chasing shadows against Blackburn the 1st day? Then the last 2 seasons he was disruptive in the summers, never fit, and played effectively only in a 30 sq ft area somewhere between the half way line and our penalty area.
He was legendary for shaking his fist and yelling at other Wolves players, usually after he'd farked up.
Some good times with us, but legend, give me a break.

Well there's subjective and there's subjective. Given the span of time covered by the players pictured runs from Billy Wright and Bert Williams to now, it is a complete joke to me that players like Derek Dougan and John Richards are not there. I could probably name a dozen more besides who are steets ahead of Ince in term of loyalty to the club, games played for Wolves and skill during the time they were Wolves players (Ince was a great player for Man U, but not for us). It's either all down to political correctness or trying to find someone from the present era. If so, I 'd have Jo Lescott. He was more of a 'legend' in the 3 or 4 seasons he played for us than Ince was.

If that is the case my choice would have been Eddie Stuart - captain when we were one of the best in England and someone who played over 300 times for Wolves and won 2 League Champioship medals.
