The origin of the name Albion is unknown. Some said we copied West Brom, others that it was named after the local brewery. There is no specific answer.

Yeah Bert Troutmann pretty remarkable really dislocated 5 vertebrae, the 2nd was snapped in 2 and some how the 3rd got wedged against the 2nd probably saving Troutmann life or serious further damage.
My dad always taught me that and still asks me today as he is sure it will be in a quiz one day lol

The foundation myth of Britain arises out of The New Chronicles and The Brut’s depiction of the daughters of King Dioclician plotting to murder (or actually succeeding in their plans) their husbands and being banished to sea only to shipwreck on an island they name Albion. The idea of the oppression of women and the manner in which they vindicate themselves, coupled with the idea of the quest and of the search, set the background for William Blake’s elucidation of his theosophical assertions of the divinity of man in his epic poems "Visions of the Daughters of Albion" and "Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion." Though the island was called Albion as a result of Albyna’s unequivocal proclamation' , it is probable that Blake also drew his understanding of the myth from an alternative claim in Spenser’s The Faerie Queene (II, x, 11, and IV, xi, 16), that the name Albion was bestowed "in honor of an ancestral giant who conquered the British Isles" (Blake 68), but was later killed in France by Hercules (Spenser 261). In spite of the fact that Blake's mythology is totally recreated, as he did not want the associations that his readers would usually draw from common mythological names to interfere with the world he was trying to establish through his poetry, Blake’s dealings with Albion are rooted fundamentally in the historical tradition of which he is most indelibly a part.
It is traditional for Teams from coastal towns to wear the stripes

Once! April 16th 1983.
WRONG ! The current answer is at least TWICE. FA Cup again. Before my time but post-WWII.

When? Never. Lost 2-0 at Highbury in 1935.
