This one hurts like no other x RIP my best pal Hammy . One of the best. Iโve met so many great people in football who I class as my friends but this man meant a lot more to me. Iโm gonna miss you my friend but so glad I got a final few minutes with you xx

Story of the day goes to the Leeds fan who I met in one of the sponsors boxes who decided to put ยฃ20 on Leeds to win 4-1 at 33-1 ONLY to find out heโd put it down wrong and had WBA to win 4-1 instead ๐๐ sometimes itโs good to drink ๐๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐ท๐ท๐ท๐ท
Emotional day at the Hawthorns made special by the fans ๐๐ค unreal turn out from the 92/93 squad that has such a special bond . Ossie on top form and fair play to the
@MillwallFC
fans who showed respect to the occasion and our squad as we walked back to our seats ๐๐ค
RIP Hammy
Morning
@MattHancock
hope youโre having a lovely weekend ๐ decided to book a little jolly to mainland Spain and wonโt be isolating on return . I sincerely apologise for that rule break but my mum and dad have said theyโll sweep it under the carpet ๐๐ ๐ช๐ธ๐ช๐ธ
WBA game sold out ๐ just shows itโs not all about the premier league which is overrated & overpriced.This season will reconnect the club with the fans and be far more memorable than the last few seasons spent in the top flight IMO. . Positivity is surrounding the club ๐๐
Unbelievable day being able to celebrate on dadโs 80th birthday being invited back to
@WBA
to receive the former players commemorative cap. So many great memories and a club thatโs filled full of great people ๐
Black Country Derby day . Absolutely ferocious games to play in . Packed stadiums , players knocking el out of each other ( off the ball ๐คฃ) fans being not so nice to each other ๐คฃ 1993 VAR would have had a field day !!

Would love to be calling you up today to wish you Happy Birthday and listening to your stupid Cockney voice saying โnow then you soft Northern shandy drinkerโ but itโs not to be . Hope youโre having a good one up there Hammy ๐๐๐๐ค miss u loads x
Kevin Donovan - 203 apps, 32 goals
Signed from Huddersfield for 70k. Donovan was an ever present at The Hawthorns between 1992-97.

What are your memories?

Players gearing up for the 1st game of the season today will one day look back and realise how lucky and privileged they were, not because of the money but because they have a chance to make history for their clubs and give fans memories that last a lifetime โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ
Disappointing result for
#WBA
yesterday. Great day as always seeing my old pal
@totalfooty
and an absolute pleasure to meet so many genuine Baggie fans in the lounges and corporate boxes. 25 yrs on and proud beyond belief to have been associated with the club.

Today is a tribute to Hammy, his life will be remembered by Ossie, Daryl, Kev, Gary and many more who will be guests in the Suites, prior to kick off the boys of 93 will line the touchline with his family Rhianna, Luca and grandson Jaiden for a minutes applause. Legend & friend.
Give anything to be starting the season today.... anything โฝ๏ธโฝ๏ธ some of these lads have no idea how privileged they are . If youโre a fan , enjoy the ride, ups and downs ( many downs following Leeds๐คฃ) stay safe have a great season ๐๐

Everyone at the football club is heartbroken to learn of the untimely passing of former player Peter Handyside.
Our thoughts are with Peterโs family at this sad time.
Once a Mariner, always a Mariner.

A big thank you to England senior kitman and Baggies No1 fan
@KitmanPat
for inviting us into your hospitality suite with your family and friends for the match . A tactical masterclass from Corberan meant a fully deserved 3pts for the Baggies .
If you see anyone stockpiling in supermarkets , immediately go to the fish counter , buy the biggest fish they have , go back to the isle you saw them and smash it as hard as u possibly can in their face and tell em to go home ๐๐ violent measures I know but totally acceptable
What a night yet still some negative comments ! Every past tournament weโd av had a player sent off for reacting to something, wouldnโt av recovered from a last min goal and wud av gone out on pens. Whatever happens now those lads av done us proud ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
So many great stories coming out about the WBA v Swansea play off night, fans memories of it etc . Seems fans and players alike witnessed something very special that night if you were there you understand what people are talking about
#coyb
a night never to forget .
Enjoy your day people . Time to switch off from the negative , lazy and the MSM scum who want nothing more than our country to pack up and go to the wall . To those positive hardworking people who want us to get through this fighting then have a bloody good weekend ๐๐
Devastating and sad to see whatโs happened to the Mariners ๐โฝ๏ธ this club WILL bounce back stronger . Maccaโs interview sums it all up . Fans will see better days and thatโs what they deserve . Sort the mess out and time to rebuild

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas , hope you all enjoy your day with the family โค๏ธ Iโm 49 yrs of age and been awake since 6am ffs ๐คก Av a great day .

3 things from tonightโs match
1- Henderson doesnโt give the ball away
2-Rashford is such a talented player
3-trumpets and drums do not belong in football stadiums nor do the nonces that bring em ๐
Good luck
