Bouncing Bomber Nets Record

West Brom striker Tony ‘Bomber’ Brown dominated the League Cup in the 1965-66 campaign by setting a record of netting in every round (Albion had a bye in the first round).

The ninth goal came in the last two-legged final – and the only occasion in which a club overcame a first leg deficit to win the trophy.

West Ham, who included Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst just four months before the World Cup final, had a 2-1 lead after the first leg at Upton Park, but at The Hawthorns, Albion were inspired, winning 5-3 on aggregate.
