Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to release an emotional and inspiring documentary celebrating the life and legacy of local lad Gerry Harris, a true icon of the club’s golden era. Born in Claverley, Harris represented everything Wolves stood for — pride, passion, and perseverance.
Between 1953 and 1966, Harris made an impressive 235 appearances for the club, cementing his place as one of Wolves’ finest left-backs. During his distinguished career, he lifted two league championships and one FA Cup, helping shape the team’s historic dominance in English football. Known for his tough tackling, tireless spirit, and unwavering loyalty, Harris became a fan favourite and an inspiration to future generations.
After hanging up his boots, he continued his love affair with the game as player-manager of Bridgnorth Town, guiding young talents with the same determination that defined his own career.
Though Gerry Harris passed away in 2020 at the age of 84, his spirit lives on in Wolverhampton’s rich football history. The upcoming documentary promises a heartfelt tribute to a local hero who gave his all for the badge — a story of grit, glory, and unshakable devotion to Wolves.
