The Wolves fans who went to Mexico '86 and stayed

Available for over a year

They were a group of Wolves fans who had lost their jobs and wanted the adventure of attending a World Cup, flying 5,000 miles to experience the 1986 tournament in Mexico. But instead of coming back to the Black Country afterwards, the place they had lived for all their lives, they decided not to return home to Stourbridge and Lye, and embarked on new lives in the US. The group of fans and their stories have now become the subject of a documentary.
