AN Ellesmere Port school will unveil a special plaque tomorrow (June 17) in celebration of one of its former pupils – footballing great Stan Cullis.

The Professional Footballers Association (PFA) has been working with Cambridge Road Primary School for several months to honour the late Wolves and England legend.

The blue plaque will be unveiled on the school building at 1.30pm.

The ceremony is taking place the day before England face Scotland in the European Championships – a fixture Cullis played in on two occasions.

Special guests include Cullis' son, the Reverend Andrew Cullis, PFA chief Gordon Taylor OBE, Wolves director John Gough and the mayoress of Ellesmere Port, councillor Lisa Denson.

There will be a special exhibition on the day which has been put together by pupils of Cambridge Road Primary School.

Born in 1916, Cullis started his career playing at school level.

He captained both England and Wolves before becoming the club's greatest ever manager, winning the Football League three times and the FA Cup twice.

Cullis, who has a statue outside Molineux, passed away in 2001 at the age of 84.

A PFA plaque in honour of another Ellesmere Port footballing great – the late Joe Mercer – will be unveiled outside the town's Civic Hall later this year.
