The Wolverhampton Wanderers' championship team
The following list lists all players who were used in a league game for the Wolverhampton Wanderers during the 1957/58 season. In English football, a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of missions and the goals scored are given in brackets.
