The Albion team celebrate winning promotion to the Premier League.
In the 2003β04 season, Albion had their best League Cup run for 22 years, beating
Newcastle United and
Manchester United before losing to
Arsenal in the quarter-finals. The team also enjoyed good form in the league, remaining in the top two from mid-October until the end of the season, winning promotion back to the Premiership, again as runners-up, at the first attempt.[1]
Albion unveiled the Astle Gates outside their home ground,
The Hawthorns, in July 2003. The gates are a tribute to the club's former striker,
Jeff Astle, who died in January 2002.[2]
