Apologies if fixtures

Now that's a squad lacking depth.

Lack of squad depth.

Can’t see them challenging for election to the Football League.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

MacDonalds notwithstanding, so Full English I can literally smell the bacon sizzling.

Is that a Charles Windsor lookalikes, top left

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Great days, great guys. I imagine they all ended up with CTE heading that ball, or perished on the Western Front.

 

[fork me]

The wonderful Frank Scott-Walton as manager. I wrote his wikipedia page. That picture is after he built the squad, the previous manager (John Jackson) was sacked for "illegal payments" and the whole scandal lead to him having just 3 players. He had to rebuild from scratch.

There were a few Albion players killed in the Great War. I think of those in the photo there's just Arthur Hulme, back row far right as we look at it - he was captain but retired at the end of the season. He was killed on the Somme in 1916.

 

[Monkey Man]

Had no idea that Jordan Pickford's great grandad played for us!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Tina Turner, John Gregory, Alan Smith, Joanna Lumley, Jerry Hall and Will Smith all in the same Albion team.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Where'd they get their hair cut?
Pound Shop! Pound Shop!

 

[Mr Bridger]

 

[Greg Bobkin]

R. Kitto should've been in charge of the tops, shorts and socks...

 

[Mr Bridger]

Way before his time this guy, should’ve been in the style council.

Don't recall but did the Albion do anything to commerate the players who died in the 14-18 war at the time of the 100th anniversary?

Definitely fixtures. I think it was first posted on NSC late 1906, I'm sure one of the mods can confirm

That was an incredible achievement by Billy Booth. He played for that Charity Shield winning team ten years before he was born.
