35 photos of Wolves and West Brom fans, matches and derby memories | OneFootball

The Black Country derby is about more than the 90 minutes. With West Bromwich Albion heading to Molineux on Sunday, 20 September, we dip into the archive to relive fans, matches and moments that define it.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, the selection spans packed terraces, fierce celebrations and occasions when rivalry was put aside, offering a snapshot of the characters and atmosphere that have shaped this fixture.

In December 2001 at Molineux, tempers flared during a Nationwide First Division derby as players squared up and the referee brandished a card. Albion left with the bragging rights after a hard-fought 1-0 win.

May 2018 brought sky-high banter when a plane, funded by Wolves supporters, towed a cheeky message, “BOING BOING BYE BYE #WOLVESAYWE”, over The Hawthorns during West Bromwich Albion’s match with Tottenham Hotspur, teasing impending relegation as Wolves celebrated promotion.

On 24 January 2024, Lower Gornal publicans Martin Cadman and Jo Selman posed outside The Old Bulls Head, their household split for the FA Cup tie, Jo in Wolves colours and Martin in Albion’s.

That same day at Molineux, Wolves great Steve Bull literally tore an Albion crest as he backed his old club before the FA Cup fourth-round trip to The Hawthorns, capturing the fervour before the first meeting in nearly three years.
