EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the Sunday Dispatch in 1954, captures a moment of pure jubilation and historic triumph for West Bromwich Albion Football Club. The image shows Len Millard, the proud captain of the team, holding aloft the coveted FA Cup, surrounded by his victorious teammates. The FA Cup Final of that year saw West Bromwich Albion take on Preston North End at Wembley Stadium, with the Baggies emerging as the victors in a thrilling 3-2 victory. The FA Cup, the oldest domestic football competition in the world, is considered one of the most prestigious trophies in English football. This triumphant moment in West Bromwich Albion's history is a testament to the passion, dedication, and teamwork of the players, who brought the trophy back to the Midlands for the second time in the club's history. The photograph, now a cherished piece of footballing nostalgia, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when football was a simpler game, played with a raw, unbridled passion that continues to inspire generations of fans. The image is a reminder of the rich history and tradition of English football, and the enduring appeal of the beautiful game.
