SYNOPSIS

Who is the greatest goalscorer in Albion history? Why was Darren Moore nicknamed 'Big Dave'? And which Albion legend stole his fans' beer?

In West Brom's Cult Heroes Simon Wright examines the careers of the most popular players to grace The Hawthorns as he examines the reasons behind the legendary status of the likes of Jeff Astle, Darren Moore, Jesse Pennington, Cyrille Regis, Derek Kevan, WG Richardson and Bob Taylor.

Along the way he examines the stories of the jailed goalscorer, the midfielder signed in the trenches, the keeper who accepted cigarettes from the crowd and the Scottish international winger who played in a bank robber's mask!

Featuring hours of research into some of the biggest names in Baggies history this book gets to the bottom of what it takes to be a West Brom Cult Hero.

Foreword by Laraine Astle, wife of Baggies legend Jeff.
