Two Albion players – Neal Maupay and Alireza Jahanbakhsh – have suffered from racist abuse online, and both talk candidly about their experiences, while we were honoured to interview West Brom trailblazer Brendon Batson last week, and he speaks about the harrowing terrace abuse he suffered in the 1970s and, of course, being a member of the fabled ‘Three Degrees’.
We also profile new Albion academy manager Nathan Marshall, who tells us about his journey to Lancing, and looks at the club’s ‘trailblazers’ education programme – featuring Albion’s first black player Dave Busby – which our under-13s are studying.
Elsewhere, new signing Danny Welbeck reveals why the Seagulls really appealed to him, while Albion WSL star, Victoria Williams, takes a look at her versatile role within Hope Powell’s side this season.
If that wasn’t enough, we also catch up with Craig Mackail-Smith, who looks back at his favourite game at the Amex, while our retro series ‘One of Our Own’, features Dave Hollins, who is still going strong at the age of 82.
And it’s back by popular demand – our ever-popular pull-out section for younger fans! Jam-packed with facts, stats and quizzes, flip it over to reveal a jumbo poster of Tariq Lamptey!
