The Albion On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable
moments from West Brom's illustrious history, mixing in a maelstrom
of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an
irresistibly dippable Baggies diary - with an entry for every day
of the year. From the club's formation in 1878 as West Bromwich
Strollers to the Premier League era, Albion fans have witnessed
League and Cup triumphs, promotions and relegations, hard times and
hard-fought local derbies - all featured here. Timeless greats such
as John Wile and Bob Taylor, Cyrille Regis, Jeff Astle and Bryan
Robson all loom larger than life. Revisit 25th April 1931, when the
Throstles won Division Two to take a unique FA Cup and promotion
Double. 18th April 1952: the appointment of manager Jesse Carver,
architect of the 'Team of the Century'. Or 6th March 1977: the
signing of Laurie Cunningham, first of the 'Three Degrees'!
Canadian siblings Margo, Michael and Peter Timmins and Michael's
childhood friend, Alan Anton, first started making music together
over thirty years ago. Sixteen studio albums and five live albums
later, Cowboy Junkies are still touring the world. Based on
interviews with the group themselves, Music is the Drug is the
official biography of one of the best-loved folk-rock bands around.
The Albion Miscellany collects together all the vital information
you never knew you needed to know about West Brom. In these pages
you will find irresistible anecdotes and the most mindblowing stats
and facts. Heard the one about the Albion star who thought there
was a different, hotter sun on a pre-season trip to Portugal? How
about the winger who bought a shed off a fan during a series of
corners? Or the GBP2 million acquisition who turned out to be
Cyrille Regis's nephew? Do you know who gave rise to the club's
'Baggies' nickname? Why Albion officials painted a match ball with
gold and stuck a stuffed thrush on top? Or which club record Lateef
Elford-Alliyu holds? All these stories and hundreds more appear in
a brilliantly researched collection of trivia - essential for any
Baggies fan who holds the riches of the club's history close to
their heart.
