The
game against Black Lake Victoria on December 13, 1879, was long
thought to have been the club's first ever game, indeed, the club's centenary
was celebrated during the 1979/80 season.
Research undertaken in
1990 however found evidence of West Bromwich Strollers playing a game in
November 1878 - It was thought that the Strollers and Albion were
the same club but this now appears to not be the case.
Further research in 1997 found five more games that had been played by
Albion earlier than the club's supposed initial game
against Black Lake, a game in which
Harry Aston is said to have been the goalscorer, a fact disputed by some
Albion historians who claim they have failed to find evidence of the
scorer being named.
