May 1977. Division Two. Burnden Park. A night of passion, violence, and unrelenting atmosphere.

Wolves had already been crowned champions, but for Bolton Wanderers, this was a do-or-die clash. A win would seal their promotion, but standing in their way were 10,000 traveling Wolverhampton Wanderers fans—the infamous Subway Army—who had swarmed Bolton in astonishing numbers.

On the pitch, Wolves edged a 1-0 victory, crushing Bolton’s dreams. But the real drama unfolded after the final whistle. Jubilant Wolves fans stormed the pitch in celebration—only to then charge toward The Lever End, home of Bolton’s most passionate support. The result? A full-scale battle as both sets of fans clashed inside the stadium.

The violence didn’t stop there. The streets around Burnden Park became a war zone, with running battles breaking out across Bolton in the aftermath. This was 70s football at its rawest—unfiltered, intense, and unforgettable.

Watch as we take you back to this historic, chaotic night when Wolves took over Bolton!
