Wolves Honour Jota with Hall of Fame Induction After Tragic Passing


Shortly on 3 July 2025, Portuguese forward Diogo Jota died in a car accident, and Wolverhampton sent an emotional note to Jota giving him farewell and rejoicing that he lived a wonderful life.
Jota was honoured in the Hall of Fame in 2008, but after a rare unanimous vote of its committee (with club legend John Richards as chairman) made the decision to induct Jota early in an illustrious career that went way beyond football pride. Richards described the moment as one filled with “sadness and disbelief,” acknowledging Jota’s “wonderful” contributions during Wolves’ 2017–18 promotion and early Premier League years.
Club director Matt Wild supported the move, emphasising Jota's humility and kindness, reinforcing that he “will be sorely missed by all of us”. Between 2017 and 2020, Jota scored 44 goals in 131 appearances, playing a key role in Wolves’ ascent and Europa League qualification.
Wolves plan to honour Jota and his brother Andre Silva during their final pre-season friendly against Celta Vigo, and again in the opening Premier League match against Manchester City.
Such a rapid-fire induction into the Hall of Fame not just brings out the technical brilliance of Jota, but it also makes a song of his character- his humility, love, and legacy. This was an excellent reminder as Wolves and the rest of the football community go through a period of mourning: Diogo Jota will be forever remembered by the club.
