Wolves legends to be immortalised in huge new Molineux mural on eve of Black Country derby

A new mural celebrating Wolverhampton Wanderers’ 150th anniversary is set to be unveiled outside Molineux ahead of this weekend’s Black Country derby.

The artwork, commissioned by Wolves’ principal partner and shirt sponsor Midnite, has been installed at the entrance to the Molineux Subway.

Measuring nine metres wide and five metres tall, it features four figures from different eras of the club’s history – Billy Wright, John Richards, Steve Bull and Raul Jimenez.

The mural will be officially unveiled on Saturday, September 19, a day before Wolves welcome rivals West Bromwich Albion to Molineux.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s head of brand marketing, said: “Wolves’ 150th anniversary is a special moment for everyone connected to the club, and we wanted to give something back to the fans that celebrate its incredible history.

“This mural brings together four iconic figures from different generations, creating a lasting tribute that supporters can enjoy and feel proud of.

“As the club’s principal partner, it’s important to us that we contribute to the culture and community surrounding Wolves, and celebrate a club who is truly built different.”

Dave Thomson, Wolves’ head of partnerships, said the mural demonstrated what could be achieved through the club’s commercial partnerships.

He said: “This project is a great example of what a partnership can achieve. Midnite approached us wanting to give something back to our supporters, and in our 150th anniversary season that gesture carries even greater significance.

“To have a partner so keen to proactively invest in our fans and the club is something we're truly grateful for.

“We’re looking forward to seeing the final piece when it’s unveiled later this month.”
