A statue or the renaming of one of Molineux's stands have been suggested.

Tributes already existing to Sir Jack including the Sir Jack Hayward Training Ground in Compton.

There is a road by Molineux - Jack Hayward Way - named after him, as well as Sir Jack's Restaurant and the Hayward Suite.

A Facebook page called 'Honour Sir Jack Hayward' calls for another permanent tribute and has already attracted 1,200 fans and a host of comments in support.

It states: "RIP Sir Jack. Thanks for everything you did for our club

"Hopefully there will be a statue to remind us all of all the good you did for the club

Let's honour Sir Jack with a statue or the renaming of a stand for all the great things he has done for our beloved club."

The call echoes the one made by Wolves vice-president Baroness Heyhoe Flint, who said if anyone deserved a statue in their memory at Molineux, it was Sir Jack.

Another suggestion has been to rename the stadium after Sir Jack.

On the Express & Star's Facebook page fan Thomas Hughes said: "A true Wolves man, gold and black ran through his veins.

"Let's get a petition going for the ground to be renamed the Sir Jack Hayward Molineux Stadium."
