Derek Statham: The UNDERRATED West Brom Hero They Left In Silence

Derek Statham was one of the most underrated defenders of West Brom’s golden era. A fearless attacking left-back, he earned back-to-back PFA First Division Team of the Year selections, played alongside Bryan Robson, Cyrille Regis and Laurie Cunningham, yet won only three England caps. From scoring past Peter Shilton on his Albion debut to the Liverpool move that collapsed and his impressive Southampton comeback, this is the story of a West Brom great who deserved far more recognition.
