West Bromwich Albion 1969-71 Kids Retro Football Shirt

West Bromwich Albion 1969-71 Kids Retro Football ShirtJeff Astle played 361 games for West Bromwich Albion, scoring 174 goals, and was one of the most iconic players in the history of the club. He also won five caps for England, but did not score any goals. At the height of Astle’s Albion career – some say on the evening of the 1968 FA Cup Final triumph – the words “ASTLE IS THE KING” appeared in large white letters on the brickwork of Primrose Bridge, which carries Cradley Road over a canal in Netherton, in the heart of the Black Country. The bridge quickly became known locally as “the Astle Bridge”. This shirt is long sleeved and made from knitted cotton NB: The badge/embroidery may appear on an alternative stripe than pictured, depending on the size of the shirt.
