SYNOPSIS
Since the club's formation in
1878, West Bromwich Albion Football Club has been served by approximately a
thousand players and choosing one hundred of the best from them was not an easy
task.
However, with the help and
knowledge of several avid Baggies' supporters, a handful of past and present
players, two former managers, three ex-coaches/trainers, two secretaries, two
directors and relatives of former players, Matthews has managed to hunt out the
players that have performed best in their own particular way and in their
respective areas.
Older supporters who watched
Albion in action in the 1930s are well catered for; so too are those who cheered
for the Baggies in the 1940s and 50s, while the regulars who attended the
Hawthorns in the 1960s and 70s will certainly enjoy reading about their
favourites. Not to be forgotten are a handful of players who have given Albion
such wonderful service in recent years, sp the younger generation of supporters
aren't left out.
The book also boasts a selection
of previously unpublished photographs, which makes it a must for all ardent
supporters of West Bromwich Albion, old or young.
