Richard Eades passed away on Boxing Day 2017.

Carly Evans and her two children Lily-Mae, 9, and Archie, 3, returned to their house in Wednesbury on Saturday night to find it had been ransacked.

Thieves took Richard’s watch from the master bedroom, where it had been left untouched since his passing, as well as Lily-Mae’s Pandora bracelet bought on a special trip to Disneyland organised by Albion fans, and an iPad with sentimental photos on it.

Mr Eades had spent nearly 30 years at Albion in a variety of roles – and was well-known for being the Baggies mascot ‘Albi’ for more than 10 years.
