NEWS, NOTES & MILESTONES

2004 - Albion break their transfer record for the second time in two months by signing Cardiff City's Welsh international striker Robert Earnshaw. The 23 year old put pen to paper on a three year deal with a further year in the club's favour. The Baggies paid the Bluebirds an initial fee of £3 million which could rise to £3.625 million dependent on performance-related add-ons.

2000 - On trial Norwegian under-21 midfielder Frode Fermann plays for Albion reserves in their 1-0 defeat at home to Barnsley.

1919 - Baggies' legend Tommy Magee makes the first of his 434 first team appearances for the club.

BIRTHS

 

1971 - Jordao

 

Portuguese midfielder Jordao joined Albion in August 2000 from Sporting Braga for a reported fee of £350,000. He was a key figure in his first two seasons at The Hawthorns, helping the club to the League Division One play-offs in 2000/01 and promotion to the Premier League in 2001/02. At the higher level Jordao struggled and made just three substitute appearances. He returned to Portugal in January 2004, signing for Estrela Amadora where he finished his career.

 

1968 - Wayne Dobbins

 

Bromsgrove-born Wayne Dobbins joined Albion as an apprentice in June 1984, signing professionally for the club two years later. He made his first team debut as a substitute during the early stages of the 1986/87 season in a 2-0 win over Sheffield United. The midfielder turned right-back spent five seasons in and around the Albion first team squad but never pinned down a regular starting place, leaving for Torquay United in the summer of 1991 after making 55 appearances for the Baggies. After just one year at Plainmoor, Dobbins left to join Yeovil Town where he stayed for three seasons before returning to the Midlands with Gloucester City, Redditch United, Stourbridge and finally Evesham United.
