Wolves fans go on rampage after Lee Hughes' shirt stunt

Wolves fans hurled bricks and breeze blocks at rival supporters' coaches, injuring a 78-year-old woman, after a match in which disgraced former Albion star Lee Hughes taunted supporters with a Baggies T-shirt.

Yobs attacked Notts County coaches when violence flared following last night's Carling Cup match, after Hughes' controversial opening goal celebration that saw him lift his shirt to reveal an undershirt carrying the Baggies' "boing boing" slogan.

Police this afternoon revealed they would speak to Wolves about Hughes's gesture.

Wolves chief executive Jez Moxey today branded the yobs involved in the attack as "morons" and said those responsible would never be allowed inside Molineux ever again.

The League Cup third round game was Hughes' first at Wolves since he served three years of a six-year jail sentence for death by dangerous driving after his car was involved in a fatal crash in 2003.

A yellow smoke bomb was released inside Molineux as home fans reacted angrily to Hughes's opening goal celebration in Wolves' 4-2 win.

And trouble flared after the match when coaches taking 140 Notts County fans back home were pelted with bricks and breeze blocks, smashing windows.

A 78-year-old Notts County fan had to receive hospital treatment after her face was gashed by broken glass and supporters today told how young children on the coaches sat "petrified".

Three coaches were damaged in the attack as the coaches travelled through Horseley Fields, one so badly that a replacement had to be sent from Nottingham to Wolverhampton to ferry supporters home.

Coach company bosses, who said they are "gutted", today revealed repair costs were expected to run up to more than £20,000.
