Graham Williams lifts the FA Cup.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of Albion’s last major trophy, and Williams, who lifted both the FA Cup and the League Cup as Baggies skipper, is taking a trip down memory lane at the Smethwick Heritage Centre Trust.

The Baggies legend will be on hand for two one-hour Q and A sessions on Saturday, June 23, between 11am-12pm and 1pm-2pm.

He will be joined by two Smethwick-born team-mates, Ray Fairfax and Lyndon Hughes, as well as Micky Fudge, as they recall the dramatic run to Wembley and the 1-0 win over Everton in the final.

The sessions will be chaired by the trust’s resident historian, Chris Sutton, and they come after the club’s successful anniversary dinner at The Hawthorns.

The Trust is located in Smethwick's Victoria Park, next door to Smethwick Council House, and further details are available by calling them on 0121 555 7278.
