WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1965

At Peterborough United's London Road ground, defending a slim 2-1 lead from the first leg of the semi-final, Albion advanced imperiously into the final with West Ham United by beating the Posh 4-2, a Tony Brown hat-trick instrumental in the win, Ray Crawford adding the other goal to complete a 6-3 aggregate victory.

By the time he final itself came around almost three months later, Crawford had left the Baggies, rejoining Ipswich Town where he had earlier won a League title under Alf Ramsey.
