Halesowen-born David Phipps and daughter Mary met Albion striker Chris Wood after flying in from his native New Zealand to watch the team beat Reading 3-1 on Saturday.
The family emigrated four years ago and this was their first return to England.
David, 39, said: "I was born in Halesowen and I lived in Solihull from when I was a kid."
