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.
