NEWS, NOTES & MILESTONES
2014 - Pepe Mel takes charge of his last game as
Albion boss - the Spaniard left the club by mutual consent just 24 hours
later. Mel was in charge at The Hawthorns for just four months and won only
three out of 17 games.
2006 - Young Albion striker Stuart Nicholson is called into the
England Under-19 squad for the upcoming UEFA Championship
elite round tournament in
Belgium.
2006 -
Albion are the latest club
to be linked with
Cardiff City striker
Cameron Jerome.
The England Under-21 star looks set to leave
Ninian Park during the summer and
Albion are reportedly ready to make a move for the £3million rated player,
possibly offering out of favour midfielder Jason Koumas in part exchange.
2003 - Bob Taylor makes his final appearance for the Baggies. In two
spells at The Hawthorns he scored 131 goals in 377 games to leave him lying
eighth on Albion's all-time goalscorers' list.
1995 - Darren Bradley, Bernard McNally, Tony Lange, Steve Lilwall. Neil
Parsley, Kieran O'Regan, Roy Hunter and Brett Love are all handed free transfers
by Baggies' boss Alan Buckley.
1991 - Albion are relegated to the third tier of English football for the
very first time. Needing a victory against Bristol Rovers at Bath City's Twerton
Park, the Baggies could only manage a 1-1 draw despite playing against 10 men
for the majority of the match following Carl Saunders' early sending-off. Albion's
failure to win ensured safety for Leicester City.
1981 - Albion begin their three game tour of North America with a 2-1
defeat to Canadian side Vancouver Whitecaps.

BIRTHS
1925 - George Corbett
Born in North Walbottle, Newcastle-on-Tyne, full-back George
Corbett made just one first team appearance for the Baggies after joining from
Spennymoor United in March 1951. He had started his playing career with
Sheffield Wednesday in 1945 but
failed to make a single appearance for the club, moving onto Spennymoor just one
year later. He spent almost five years with the non-league club before he moved
to The Hawthorns for a reported fee of £800. After leaving Albion in June 1953
he spent a season with Workington Town. It is believed Corbett returned to
Spennymoor for a second spell before joining Scottish League club Berwick
Rangers for whom he played during the 1956/57 season. Corbett died in his home
city in the summer of 1999.
