West Brom-mad player booked for unveiling Albion shirt after goal at Molineux
The Black Country derby is one of the fiercest derbies in the UK.
While West Brom and Wolves have rarely met in recent years, the hatred between the two clubs is still evident.
Last season, the Black Country derby was halted for 40 minutes after a mass brawl occurred at The Hawthorns in the FA Cup.
Now, one Baggies fan has taken the opportunity to unveil a Wolves shirt at Molineux after a goal in a moment he will never forget.
Oli West booked in charity match after unveiling West Brom shirt at Molineux
West Brom fans have plenty of unforgettable memories of their trips to Molineux.
Peter Odemwingie’s hat-trick in a 5-1 demolition job of the Old Gold was one of the best away trips in the Baggies’ history.
Even West Brom’s last visit to Molineux was a success after they beat Wolves 3-2 despite losing at half-time, thanks to a Matheus Pereira masterclass.
Now, another Baggies fan has created an unforgettable moment at Molineux as he revealed a West Brom shirt in a charity match.
Oli West, who previously played for non-league sides Boldmere and Walsall Wood, was competing in a charity match at Molineux to support Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
During the final, West was lucky enough to score the winner, which caused chaotic scenes on the touchline.
Amo Sandur was lucky enough to capture his celebrations on X (5 June), which showed West taking off his top to unveil a West Brom jersey.
While he was booked for his antics, the former Walsall Wood star is unlikely to care about the yellow card.
More Black Country derbies are a must
While the debate at The Hawthorns will rage on about who the West Midlands club’s biggest rivals are, there is no doubt that matches against Wolves are a great watch.
Unfortunately, West Brom’s inability to return to the Premier League in recent years has reduced the number of times the derby is played.

| Wins | 65 |
| Draws | 44 |
| Losses | 54 |
Hopefully, Ryan Mason can lead the Baggies on another promotion campaign next season and win a spot in the English top-flight.
However, Wolves could just as easily return to the Championship next year as they continue to flirt with relegation.
