Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. West Bromwich Albion Football Club (pronounced /w st 'br m d /), also known as West Brom, The Baggies, Albion, The Albion, The Throstles or WBA, are an English professional football club based in West Bromwich, West Midlands. The club was formed in 1878 by workers from Salter's Spring Works in West Bromwich, and have played their home games at The Hawthorns since 1900. Albion were one of the founding members of The Football League in 1888 and have spent the majority of their existence in the top tier of English football. They have been champions of England only once, in 1919 20, but have had more success in the FA Cup, with five wins. The first came in 1888, the year the league was founded, and the most recent in 1968, their last major trophy. They also won the Football League Cup at the first attempt in 1966. Since the early 1980s the club has been lesssuccessful. From 1986 to 2002 they spent their longest ever period out of the top division, although there has been something of a revival in recent years: 2008 09 was the club's fourth season in the Premier League since 2002. They will be playing in the second tier in 2009 10.
