Profile: A true Albion legend.

The firepower behind 1931's glorious double - scoring both goals in the FA Cup Final win over Blues and the winner in the promotion clincher the following week - and an Albion stalwart right through the war.

First to 200 league goals (202 in total), scored ten hat-tricks, four goals four times, won one England cap.

After retiring as a player, WG Richardson was Albion's assistant-trainer-coach from June 1946 until his death in March 1959.

He is the club's record goalscorer in all games, though 100 of these came in wartime fixtures.
