Jack Jones turned 107 years old recently and the West Midlands club decided to make his day yesterday.
Jones has supported West Brom for the best part of a century and was rewarded for his loyalty with a day out at the Hawthorns when he got the chance to see his team claim a 1-0 victory over Southampton.
He was also presented with a jersey with "Jack 107" printed on the back by club captain Darren Fletcher, as well as a signed football which Jones has planned to auction off to raise money for his care home.
