The Subway Army were a Hooligan firm associated with Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. (Wolves) during the 1970s and 1980s. The firm rose to fame during the 1970s by ambushing rival fans in subways leading to Wolves home ground, Molineux, a tactic which earned them their Subway Army tag. The firm eventually disbanded and were replaced with the Bridge Boys.
