The greatest ... West Bromwich Albion games
West Brom 3, Bradford Park Avenue 1, top division, April 10, 1920
In West Bromwich’s only league title-winning season in their history, they clinch the championship with four games to spare. Their 104 goals for the season — 37 of which come from Fred Morris, the England forward — is the most in a campaign up to this point.
West Brom 2, Birmingham City 1, FA Cup Final, April 25, 1931
As a second-tier team, West Bromwich overcome their top-flight local rivals at a rain-soaked Wembley. Billy Richardson gives them a half-time lead and then scores again a minute after Joe Bradford equalises for Birmingham.
Manchester United 3, West Brom 5, top division, December 30, 1978
At a snowy Old Trafford, United lead twice before Tony Brown equalises for West Brom to make it 3-3 at half-time. The visiting team secure victory with two goals in the final quarter of an hour, including the fifth, by Cyrille Regis, after a breathtaking counter-attack.
West Ham United 3, West Brom 4, second tier, November 8, 2003
Brian Deane’s first two goals for West Ham and an own goal by Phil Gilchrist put the home side three up after 17 minutes. Rob Hulse replies twice and West Ham have Jermain Defoe sent off for a bad foul before the break, after which comes an own goal by Deane and Lee Hughes’s winner.
This season could see us break our own record for goals scored in a season - I paid for a season ticket on a seat that has hardly been sat on!
