Sport and music legends were the star guests at the grand relaunch of a Wolverhampton pub.
Hundreds of people poured through the doors of the revamped Fieldhouse, in Perton Road, Wightwick, including former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant and former Wolves stars Steve Bull, Andy Thompson and Steve Daley.
They chatted with guests, signed autographs and posed for pictures with fans.
The pub has undergone a refurbishment after being taken over by Mike and Sue Hawkes. It includes repainting, new furniture and upgraded toilets.
Mike said: “The pub has been neglected for a number of years.
“We decided to hold a relaunch party to show everyone what what The Fieldhouse is about – an old-fashioned, traditional pub for nice people. Robert Plant is a personal friend and he arranged for the ex-Wolves players to come along as a bit of a bonus.”

We had a great time at the grand opening of the fieldhouse last night. It was great to see people like Robert Plant and Steve Bull supporting a good honest local business.
The whole family ended up going along last night and needless to say that fun was had by all!

Planty has been a Zepwolf forever, it’s great (it wasn’t a beard more of a rock balaclava lol). Bully? need I say anything? All this and beer? does it get any better?
