Albion are delighted to announce the publication of a 300-page casebound book celebrating the club’s 125 years at The Hawthorns.
“The History Of The Hawthorns” – written by Club Historian Dave Bowler and published by ACA Creative – tells the story of the stadium, from the reasons behind the move from Stoney Lane, right through to the present day.
The book is packed with exclusive interviews from players, administrators and supporters, getting under the skin of this cathedral of football. With hundreds of never-published-before photographs, this is the ultimate tribute to the Shrine, the place thousands of Albion fans call home.
For 125 years now, The Hawthorns, the first newly built stadium of the 20th century, the first out of town football ground, has played host to a string of wonderful footballers wearing blue and white stripes – and a few who wore the opposition colours - who have left their indelible mark on the hearts, minds and souls of generation after generation of Albion supporters.
But The Hawthorns has been more than that, hosting international football, testimonials, other sports, weddings, funerals, school sports days and a multitude of other activities.
From Joe Reader to Josh Griffiths, Stanley Matthews to Cristiano Ronaldo, Edward VIII to Red Rum, baseball sluggers to boxers, all human (and equine) life has been here, and we are across it all in a lavish new book, “The History Of The Hawthorns”.
The book will be available for general sale from Friday, November 7 – but you can pre-order before Friday, September 12 for the unique opportunity to include your name (first name and surname only, one name per purchase) in the advance subscribers listing pages at the back of the book. Pre-orders will be delivered directly to your door.
The standard version of the book costs £45 while there is a special numbered, limited of 125 copies, leatherbound in white, and signed by Tony Brown, James Morrison and Chris Brunt.
