Celebrating an 80th Birthday

On the eve of his milestone birthday this Friday, messages of gratitude and admiration came from various past and present players. These tributes were shared with Brown while he prepared for his co-commentary role with the BBC during a recent West Brom game against Norwich City.

A Record-Setting Career

Tony Brown holds the record as West Bromwich Albion’s all-time leading goal scorer. Over his impressive career, which spanned from 1963 to 1980, he netted 279 goals in 720 matches. His remarkable stamina and skill allowed him to make more appearances for the club than any other player.

Achievements and Honors

During his time at West Brom, Brown contributed to significant victories:

  • FA Cup champion in 1968

In recognition of his contributions to the club, a statue commemorating him was unveiled outside The Hawthorns in 2014.

This celebration not only honors his impressive achievements but also reinforces the strong bond he shares with his teammates and the West Bromwich Albion community.
