So how many have we had, players who have played in a World Cup Finals tournament and also played for the Albion at some time?
I'll have 1st pick of three easy ones,
Tony Meola (USA)
Steve Foster (England)
Gerry Armstrong (N Ireland)
I could name a few more but over to you....
The thing is, the World changes and fads & fashions do too. Many oldies were brought up with what are now offensive words in our nursery rhymes, songs & stories. Re-writing these, or erasing things we don't like from the past, comes donw to the book burning of the past.
Most of the above were...
Not to give any credence to this particular rumour but players at the end of their careers cannot expect to carry on earning millions per year, they may well feel financially secure for life and some may well want to stay in the game at something more than a football pundit.

Truly horrific and must never be forgotten. I think most of the poor souls who died tried to leave the ground behind the stand only to find the gates locked and this brought about many changes in health & safety at events.
Notice how people are cowering from the heat whilst on the pitch...
I caught the 1st episode on catch-up partly by accident and was very impressed. I've 'boxed' the next two parts but disappointing to see that the 2nd part was delayed by snooker as TiVO, wonderful that it is, only records against the programmed time. Wasn't there a system that would lock onto a...
No, it was quite early, long before any goals and the 1st time the screen 'changed' to show an update. I thought maybe he looked up and saw a team in blue & white scoring and, just for an instant..... maybe I got it wrong but people seemed fairly amused and he seemed slightly embarrassed.
