The club will be showing names of fans who have passed away during the past 12 months on the big screens inside The Hawthorns.

It is the first year the Baggies have decided to screen a 'roll of honour' at the last home game of the calendar year, but Albion are planning to continue the feature from now on.

Names of club legends – including Cyrille Regis – will be mixed in with those who watch from the stands on the big screens 20 minutes before kick off.

The Cyrille Regis Memorial Choir will be singing The Lord’s My Shepherd to accompany the piece.

The names will also be printed in the matchday programme.

Albion are hosting Sheffield Wednesday at The Hawthorns tomorrow, and the match is nearing a sell-out with just a few hundred tickets left.
