Understand

Wolves mural vandalised on West Brom derby day is restored by artist

Overview

A mural celebrating 150 years of Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux, created by artist Joe Miles, has been fully restored after being vandalised with blue paint prior to the Black Country derby against West Brom on 20 September. An 18-year-old man arrested in connection with the criminal damage has been released on bail.

Key points

  • Artist Joe Miles completed the mural featuring past and present Wolves players at the Molineux Subway shortly before the derby match.
  • Blue paint was thrown over the artwork ahead of the game, preventing matchgoers from seeing it in its full condition.
  • Miles has since repaired the damage and removed the paint to restore the mural to its original state.
  • West Midlands Police arrested an 18-year-old man in relation to the vandalism, who has since been released on bail.
