Wolves are an incredibly proud club with a rich history that attracts many fans to Molineux, those who may be local and then those who come from further afield.
It is quite traditional that fans would come from the local area, as they are supporting the club of their community; however, there are those who are attracted by the success of the club or brought in by the history or watching their favourite player.
Wolves were arguably the biggest club in England during the 1950s, when they won three First Division titles.
This success would be celebrated by locals and those who were watching the best players in the country light up their TV screens.
Some of these fans have gone on to become quite notable in the public eye, and so they are now famous fans of Wolves.

Eight famous fans of Wolves
Kevin Rowland
A local to the area, Kevin Rowland became famous as the lead singer of Dexys Midnight Runners, with their most notable song being ‘Come on Eileen’.
He grew up in Wolverhampton and left school at the age of 15 and worked as a hairdresser before moving into music.
While he may have changed careers at an early age, one love that has never faltered since he was a child was his love for Wolves.
Mark Rhodes
He is best known as one half of the TV presenting pair of Sam and Mark, working primarily in children’s and British prime time shows.
Another local to the area, Mark is from Walsall, but he is a Wolves fan.
He has a fondness for the team, as he played at Molineux as part of the All-Stars side at Matt Murray’s testimonial match in 2011.
Rhodes also played in Jody Craddock’s testimonial match as part of a Wolves XI at Molineux in 2014.
Mark Hamill
Best known for his work in the Star Wars franchise as Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamill has also played other notable roles like the Joker in the animated Batman series.
Hamill only recently became a Wolves fan despite being 73 years old, due to a Twitter interaction with a Wolves fan.
The Hollywood star believed he was liking a tweet about the animal, but he has since adopted the club as his football team since finding out it was about Wolves, the club.
Suzi Perry
A graduate from the University of Wolverhampton, Suzi Perry is very proud of the area and the football team she supports.
Suzi Perry is best known for her presenting on TV for motorsports, including Formula 1 and Grand Prix motorcycle racing.
She has also worked on Channel 5’s The Gadget Show for a number of years due to her fondness for technology.
However, while she has had a number of different careers taking her around the world, her love for Wolves has never faded.
Eric Idle
Despite being born in South Shields, Eric Idle has been a Wolves fan his whole life, or for as long as he can remember.
The former Monty Python star has been spotted in a Wolves kit and kicking a ball.
His passion for the club runs deep, as he can pinpoint specific moments and matches from Wolves history with great accuracy.
Denis Irwin
The former Manchester United legend brought his career to a close at the age of 38, after three seasons at Wolves.
This fulfilled a childhood dream of Denis Irwin’s, as while he was winning trophies with Manchester United, he was always at heart a Wolves fan.
He had become a fan from a young age, and when he was looking for a new club in 2001, Wolves made an offer, and he simply could not say no, as he was beginning to wind down his career at 36.

Andy Murray
The tennis great and former Wimbledon champion is a Wolves fan and has let his love for the club be known.
There are many photos of Andy Murray wearing a Wolves top around tennis venues, and he was even presented a signed jersey in 2013.
He is said to have become a fan after attending a few matches with his former coach David Lloyd, who was a diehard Wolves supporter.
George Best
Arguably the most unlikely fan on the list due to his connections with Manchester United and being from Belfast.
However, George Best wrote in his autobiography that he was a Wolves fan due to his love for legendary player Peter Broadbent.
While Best would never play in the gold of Wolves after moving around a number of clubs after his Manchester United exit, he always remained a fan of the Black Country club.
