Biographies |
Bomber Brown: The Tony Brown Story - Tony Brown with John Homer
and Glenn Willmore
(Perspective Publishing, Tonbridge 1998) |
|
|
It is not the handful of
appearances that he made for England, Torquay or American side
Jacksonville which make 'Bomber' a legend; between 1963 and 1979 he played
561 games scoring 218 goals for West Bromwich Albion, a phenomenal rate
for a player largely selected as a midfielder, ensuring his immortality in
the West Midlands.
