West Brom began in 1878 as West Bromwich Strollers, formed by workers at George Salter's Spring Works in the Black Country, and became West Bromwich Albion in 1880. The Staffordshire Cup was the first trophy in 1883, professionalism came in 1885, and in 1886 the club reached its first FA Cup final, where Blackburn Rovers won a replay 2โ0. Albion won the cup in 1888 for the first time, upsetting Preston North End 2โ1, and beat Aston Villa 3โ0 in 1892 for the second. The Hawthorns brought relegation in the first season there, in 1900โ01. The FA Cup returned in 1930โ31 alongside promotion, a 2โ1 win over Birmingham. In 1953โ54 Albion came close to the League and Cup double, and that side earned the tag of Team of the Century. They beat West Ham United 5โ3 on aggregate to win the League Cup in 1965โ66, and in 1968 Jeff Astle's single goal beat Everton in extra time to give the club its last major trophy. In 1978โ79 they finished third and reached the UEFA Cup quarter-final. Biliฤ took them up automatically in 2019โ20.
The Hawthorns in West Bromwich opened in 1900 and holds 26,688. It was the club's last move. Albion first played at Cooper's Hill in 1878 and 1879, alternated with Dartmouth Park, spent 1881โ82 at Bunn's Field and rented the Four Acres from the West Bromwich Dartmouth Cricket Club between 1882 and 1885. From 1885 to 1900 the base was Stoney Lane, and those years brought two FA Cup wins in what may be the club's most successful spell. The first match at the new ground was a 1โ1 draw with Derby County on 3 September 1900. The record attendance was set on 6 March 1937, when 64,815 watched Albion beat Arsenal 3โ1 in an FA Cup quarter-final.
Albion's greatest rivals in the old days were Aston Villa, from nearby Birmingham, but the picture has shifted. Most Albion supporters now see Wolverhampton Wanderers as the main enemy. Both clubs were Football League founders in 1888, a start that leaves the fixture as the joint oldest derby in the English league. In 2002 Albion overhauled Wolves from 11 points adrift to win promotion, a swing that lives long in this fixture. A 2004 survey confirmed that the majority of supporters on both sides consider the other their main rival. A less heated feud exists with Birmingham City, who Albion met in the 1931 FA Cup final and in a semi-final in 1968. Fellow Black Country club Walsall rank lower, having spent most of their history in a lower division than Albion.
The head-to-head with Aston Villa is close: West Brom have 3 wins and 4 defeats in 10 (all competitions).
