The Hawthorns: Home of the Baggies - A West Bromwich Albion History

By Luca Carrera

The Hawthorns: Home of the Baggies is the definitive chronicle of one of English football's most storied clubs. From the smoke-filled industrial beginnings of West Bromwich Albion to the floodlit glory of cup finals, this book traces every era with rich narrative detail, capturing the soul of a team that has weathered wars, revolutions in the game, and countless promotions and relegations.

With vivid storytelling, this book brings to life the club's formative years, its historic triumphs-including five FA Cup wins and a league title-and the unforgettable personalities who defined the blue and white stripes. The evolution of The Hawthorns stadium is woven throughout, from its Edwardian roots to its modern identity as a cathedral of football in the Black Country.

More than just a history of matches and managers, The Hawthorns: Home of the Baggies celebrates the culture, the fans, and the community that shaped Albion's identity. From the "Boing Boing" chants to the legacy of Cyrille Regis and the iconic "Three Degrees," it is a love letter to a club that stands not just for football-but for resilience, passion, and place.
