Publisher's Synopsis
West Bromwich Albion are a real club, a glorious Black Country footballing institution boasting over 125 years of history. They have real supporters too, wearily familiar with the frustrations and nervousness that is the backside of caring about your team. And yet there are times when supporting the Baggies makes perfect sense. In this volume, Simon Wright takes a fresh look at 50 of the club's greatest matches over its long and distinguished past. Outstanding games such as the Great Escape, the 5-3 at Old Trafford, Oldham '76 and beating Villa in the FA Cup final are all featured together with several memorable triumphs over the Dingles. Scores are settled, hoodoos ended and extraordinary victories against the elements - all are contained within these covers. Each match is lovingly retold with additional comment from both supporters and players alike. Lavishly illustrated with iconic photographs, this book is a heart-warming reminder of just how good being a Baggie can really be.
