Creation of article[edit]

Created by copying the History section from West Bromwich Albion F.C.. Replaced the section on that page with a new version which is hopefully more concise. Both pages still need a fair amount of work. Haydn01 16:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rev. Hodgson and the foundation of WBA[edit]

The article on Robert Hodgson (diplomat) states that his father, the Reverend Robert Hodgson, was "founder of West Bromwich Albion Football Club", without citation. The history on the WBA website and in Gavin McOwan's book describe the roots in Salter's and the name change from Strollers to Albion, but do not name specific founders (just the first reported players). Father and son were associated with the town of West Bromwich in the 1870s, but was there any link to WBA FC? If there is no reliable, sourced information that there was, I will delete the phrase in the Hodgson article. Douglian30 (talk) 13:01, 20 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have now deleted the reference to WBA FC. Douglian30 (talk) 17:20, 1 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
