If Silk hadn’t died in that air crash in 1980-81 period Trevor Francis would’ve been an Albion player rather than have gone to Forest.

Silk’s death was the biggest tragedy to befall our club, if he’d lived I firmly believe we would’ve been a “Leicester City” type club ( as they are now ) for the last 40 odd years.

We’d have won the Prem and Division 1 as it was for certain and been top 8 contenders continually in a 40,000 capacity stadium.

But for me Trevor Francis is the best we nearly signed.
