Given that 100 years as a West Brom fan is more than any man should be forced to bear, the Baggies laid on a special VIP day for 107-year-old fan Jack Jones on Saturday.
Invited along to the Hawthorns as guest of honour, not only was Jack in the crowd to watch his beloved side register an impressive 1-0 win over Southampton, he was also presented with a clutch of goodies in appreciation of his century of service and support.

With current club captain Darren Fletcher doing the honours, Jack was presented with his own personalised West Brom shirt as well as a signed football – both of which he is planning to auction off to raise funds for his care home in Stourbridge.
What a star. Here’s to Jack!
