FOREWORD ByTonyBrown

It is a pleasure to be asked to write the foreword to ‘The

Official West Bromwich Albion Quiz Book’. I was priviledged to

join the club in 1961 and turned professional in August 1963.

This turned into an enjoyable journey, which lasted twenty

years. I played with the great teams of the mid to late sixties

where I picked up winners medals in both League and FA Cups,

which I treasure to this day. I went on to break virtually every

appearance and goal scoring record at The Hawthorns,

something I am extremely proud of.

This book certainly covers the history of this great club and

will test Baggies’ fans of all ages; also it is an excellent

reference book full of interesting facts and figures. I even

learned a lot about my own career: Fantastic. I hope you enjoy

this book as much as I did.

Best wishes

Tony Brown

West Bromwich Albion Football Club (1963-1980)

INTRODUCTION ByChrisCowlin

I would like to thank club legend Tony Brown for writing the

foreword to the book, and a big thank you to Tom Ross of

BRMB Radio for all his help and comments, I would also like

to thank everyone for their comments and reviews (which can

be found at the back of the book). I would also like to thank

Paul Bradbury at West Bromwich Albion Football Club for his

help and advice during the book’s compilation and Laurie

Rampling for his superb photographs on the front cover.

It was great working with Kevin Snelgrove and Marc White.

I really hope you enjoy this book. Hopefully it should bring

back some wonderful memories of this fantastic club!

In closing, I would like to thank all my friends and family for

encouraging me to complete this project.

Best wishes Chris Cowlin
