Born in the Whitmore Reans suburb of Wolverhampton, which is in the immediate Molineux area, Wolves was Sir Jack’s boyhood club.
Going on to become an extremely successful businessman, Sir Jack bought Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1990, for £2 million plus.
During his seventeen years reign as owner and chairman, he spent an estimated £70 million of his own money on writing off debts, developing Molineux and buying players.
