Fans across the Black Country pick Wolves and Albion greats across the eras | OneFootball

Black Country supporters have rekindled a favourite argument, naming the greatest to wear Wolves and West Bromwich Albion shirts. Picks spanned eras, from post-war icons to modern favourites.

As reported by ExpressAndStar.com, Wolves fans repeatedly put forward Steve Bull, Billy Wright, Peter Broadbent and Kenny Hibbitt, with John Richards also prominent. Some highlighted Wright’s records, others simply put Bull first.

Others cherished the 1970s. Kenny Hibbitt drew emphatic backing, while Peter Broadbent was ranked ahead of Richards and Derek Dougan by some.

For Albion, Tony Brown and Jeff Astle led many lists, alongside Bryan Robson, Laurie Cunningham and Cyrille Regis. Willie Johnston had passionate supporters, and others pressed the earlier claims of Ronnie Allen and Ray Barlow.

There was cross-rival respect too. One Aston Villa fan picked Brown and Robson for Albion, with Wright and Richards for Wolves. Others named favourites on both sides and recalled Steve Bull’s goals for Albion before his move to Molineux.

Many felt the answer depends on when you started watching. Several said different eras make comparisons hard, and that both clubs have produced a wealth of greats.
