Cultural Impact
GI SCORING RATIONALE
One of West Brom’s greatest ever sides. Still cherished by fans and respected for its flair and bravery, but often overlooked in wider football narratives. Third in the First Division (1978–79), FA Cup semi-final (1978). No trophies, but consistently near the top and formidable on their day. Trailblazing front three of Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham, and Brendon Batson broke barriers. A team that stood for something more than just football. 5–3 win at Old Trafford. Cunningham dazzling under the lights. Regis steamrolling defences. Iconic for West Brom, and deeply emotional for English football history. Swashbuckling style, social significance, and cult status. A team that played with joy and carried weight beyond the pitch.
