Not sure about an Albion connection but the Carlisle 11 contained a player who also played professional cricket. Name him ?

I don't think we will bother the relegation places this season but when our European adventures begin and injuries /suspensions accrue we might find the going a bit tougher. If we can manage a top 10 finish and go deep into a cup or two then that would be yet another excellent season

Wow! Didn't know about that one - he was with Carlisle for their season in division 1 and the following season. 31 games in two seasons - no idea how many (in any) were in the first division season.
Good shout though!
