Description

It’s football’s greatest achievement that you’ve probably never heard of. In 1930/31, West Bromwich Albion won promotion from the Second Division and, if that wasn’t enough, they won the FA Cup as well. It was the first time that double had ever been done, it hasn’t been done since, and I think we can safely wager the TFT family silver on it never being done again.

We’re joined by members of Albion’s extended royal family, Paul and Ben Wood, who are, respectively, grandson and great-grandson of Stan Wood, the Throstles’ left winger who played a huge part in that season, playing 50 games and scoring 17 goals as his side won a unique double.
