PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY 7th MAY. 2021...

Legendary Albion snapper Laurie Rampling is proud to release his third book of the COVID-19 lockdown period.

Following the success of '1976 - A Promotion Tale And All That', and 'War, Peace and Promotion', this publication follows the story of yet another successful season on the pitch for West Bromwich Albion Football Club.

On May 1st 1954, West Bromwich Albion skipper Len Millard raised the FA Cup high at Wembley Stadium after Albion defeated Preston North End 3-2 to bring to an end a most extraordinary campaign which took the Throstles so close to the pinnacle of football achievement - the coveted League and Cup Double'.

It proved to be one step too far for Vic Buckingham and his wonderful side that would count the cost of injuries and international selections thwarting the dreams of Albion's followers including the author Laurie Rampling, who sat captivated in front of a flickering Black and white TV set watching the Wembley drama unfold all those years ago.

You too can now follow the fortunes of the 'Baggies' in that momentous season in Laurie's third book '1954 The Team of the Century' A Throstles Journey' which is indeed a 'Blow by Blow' account of Albion's tremendous campaign as a wonderful group of players sought the 'Holy Grail' of English football.

Once again Laurie is proud to support Two charities close to his heart, The Albion Foundation and The Albion Former Player Association, with proceeds from the book going to these wonderful causes.
