    Product description

    West Bromwich Albion’s History is Full of Legendary Players With Quirky Stories to Tell: Which Hero Continually Fell Out With the Club’s Directors? Why Was Darren Moore Nicknamed ‘big Dave’? and Which Legend Stole His Fans’ Beer?

    in west Brom’s Cult Heroes Simon Wright (you May Recall Him From grorty Dick Fanzine) Examines the Careers of the Most Popular Players to Grace the Hawthorns to Discover the Reasons For the Legendary Status of the Likes of Jeff ‘the King’ Astle (my Personal Favourite - Ed), Jesse Pennington, Derek ‘the Tank’ Kevan, W.g. ‘ginger’ Richardson and ‘super’ Bob Taylor.

    Along the Way HE Examines the Stories of the Schoolteacher Persuaded to Leave Wartime France to Lead the Albion Attack, the Keeper Who Accepted Cigarettes From the Crowd and the Scottish International Winger With A Penchant For Streaking (and Once Aiming A Kick at A Ref, Although I'm Sure HE Didn't Make Contact - Ed).

    Featuring Hours of Research into the Biggest Names in Baggies History, This Book Gets to the Bottom of What IT Takes to BE A West Brom Cult Hero.
