Brendon Batson - Born in Grenada, Batson moved to England aged nine, in 1962. In 1971, Arsenal signed him as a schoolboy (this photo was taken in 1973, when Batson was 20 years old), but he didn't make it at the Gunners, and signed for Cambridge United in 1974. However, the full-back is best-known for his time at West Brom (1978-1982), when he was one of the famous Three Degrees, along with Cyrille Regis and Lawrie Cunningham.
