West Bromwich Albion’s 2012/13 campaign was one of their best of all time as they finished in their highest-ever Premier League position, managing a respectable 8th-placed finish under former boss Steve Clarke. Striker Romelu Lukaku undoubtedly stole the headlines with his 17-goal haul on loan and helped propel them into European contention.
Albion put in some stellar performances against the league’s big guns resulting in a season to remember for supporters. The campaign finished with a 5-5 draw with Manchester United which goes down as one of the most iconic top-flight fixtures to this day; the Baggies crashed Sir Alex Ferguson’s final game in management in the process.
