INFO:
Wolverhampton Wanderers' legendary coach Stan Cullis, who led the team to win everything in England, was also an important player for the same club. He played 170 matches for the Wolves from 1934 to 1947 and capped 12 times for England plus 20 more during wartime − half of them as captain. He had to retire at 31 years of age because of a bad head injury.
One of Wolverhampton's best ever defenders, Cullis was already team captain when he was only 19 years old. He was a shrewd and fair defender who preferred letting the forward opponent have the chance to score instead of putting him down with a faul: Cullis himself stated that he didn't want to be known as the one who cheated. Cullis was strong in tackling, powerful in cleareances, able in the air, skillful and composed with the ball. Several English football legends gave their personal opinions on Cullis: Stanley Matthews said that he was the best header in the Football League; Tommy Lawton that he was the greatest centre-half ever met due to the resilience of a wall, the speed of a whippet, the footwork of a ballet dancer and the tenacity to raid towards the opponents territory; Eddie Hapgood that he was an intelligent defensive centre-half who could efficiently attack when needed, going his own way, thoughtfully, always looking for the right chance to crack down in the middle of the field. Therefore his position was sometimes misnamed as "attacking centre-half".

Thanks for the stats ;)

Height: 177 cm
Weight: 73 kg

Wolves played 2-3-5 at that time, he should have DMF as prime position, not CB. RES seems a bit too high for me, I don't think he should have a higher value there than Goldbrunner. SP and LPS should be raised a bit, he was known for his powerful clearances. On the other hand TEC and DA are definitely overrated, he had decent skills with the ball but no way he was better than TG Jones there..

You're welcome! I updated what you told me to change.
I couldn't find anything about his shots so I didn't know how to rate.
Thanks for the suggestions! :)
