The Albion Foundation are delighted to invite you to an unforgettable evening with former Albion manager Ron Atkinson, club legend Brendon Batson and special guests at The Hawthorns, on Thursday, August 20.

 

Join us in the Richardson Suite for a night packed with stories, laughter and memories as two of the most influential figures in Albion's history reflect on their remarkable careers in football and their enduring connection to the club.

 

Ron Atkinson remains one of the most successful managers in Albion's history, leading the Baggies during an exciting era in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Renowned for his charismatic personality and attacking style of football, 'Big Ron' guided Albion to some of the most memorable moments in the club's history before going on to enjoy a distinguished managerial career at the highest level of the game.

 

Alongside him will be Brendon Batson, one of Albion's most celebrated former players and a trailblazer within English football. A key member of the iconic Three Degrees side, Batson made over 250 appearances for the club and has continued to make a lasting impact through his work promoting equality, diversity and inclusion across the game.

 

Together, Ron and Brendon will share fascinating behind-the-scenes stories, reflect on unforgettable matches and characters from their careers, and offer a unique insight into one of the most significant periods in Albion's history.
