The Albion On This Day revisits all the most magical and memorable moments from West Brom's illustrious history, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Baggies diary - with an entry for every day of the year. From the club's formation in 1878 as West Bromwich Strollers to the Premier League era, Albion fans have witnessed League and Cup triumphs, promotions and relegations, hard times and hard-fought local derbies - all featured here. Timeless greats such as John Wile and Bob Taylor, Cyrille Regis, Jeff Astle and Bryan Robson all loom larger than life. Revisit 25th April 1931, when the Throstles won Division Two to take a unique FA Cup and promotion Double. 18th April 1952: the appointment of manager Jesse Carver, architect of the 'Team of the Century'. Or 6th March 1977: the signing of Laurie Cunningham, first of the 'Three Degrees'!

A lifelong Baggies fan, like all his family, Dave Bowler has been a contributor to the Albion matchday programme and a summariser on Albion Radio since 2001. Laurie Rampling is Albion's club photographer, a fan ever since seeing the 1954 FA Cup final on a flickering TV set. Despite being exiled in Essex, he still shoots every match, home and away.
