Jack Davies (football trainer)

Jack persuaded the Wolves board to keep a young Stan Cullis, who in later years as a manager reigned over the club’s most successful period.

Jack also persuaded Major Buckley not to release Billy Wright, who the club had deemed too short in height to make the grade as a professional footballer.

[1] Billy Wright went on to win three Football League championships and the FA Cup, whilst amassing 105 international caps for England.

Jack Davies was inducted along with Alf Bishop, Robbie Dennison, Joe Gardiner, Geoff Palmer, Phil Parkes, Mike Stowell and Dennis Wilshaw.

Merv Davies played a key role together with fellow co-author Tim Gibbons in getting Jack’s achievements recognised through their 2019 book publication, ‘Training with Wolves’.
