I wrote to West Broms chief scout Bobby Hope via The Hawthorns a few weeks ago and got my cards back signed today.
Bobby played more than 300 league games for West Bromwich Albion where he spent most of his club career between 1959 and 1972 and won two caps for Scotland.Hope enjoyed success during this period, winning the League Cup in 1966 and FA Cup in 1968. He scored Albion's first goal in European competition when he found the net against DOS Utrecht in the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup on 2 November 1966.He moved to Birmingham City in 1972,spending time on loan in the NASL with Philadelphia Atoms and Dallas Tornado, and later played for Sheffield Wednesday and Bromsgrove Rovers.
