Laurie Cunningham, a talented player for the team, is seen engaging with factory workers from Smith Corona typewriter manufacturers located next door to The Hawthorns stadium.

The image showcases a special moment as representatives from Smith Corona present a generous cheque of £250.00 towards the team's pool fund. This act of support highlights the unity and camaraderie that existed between local businesses and their beloved football club. Additionally, Laurie Cunningham receives an elegant carriage clock after being voted Albion Player of the Year by passionate fans.
