Profile: Another top class right-back, Howe represented Albion and England with great distinction, collecting 23 England caps and playing in the 1958 World Cup.

An astute reader of the game, he was one of the first attacking full-backs and would make a brilliant wing-back in the modern game.

Howe left Albion for Arsenal in April 1964, later becoming coach of the team that won the double in 1970/71.

He took over as Albion manager in July 1971 but the club was relegated in the 1972/73 season, Howe leaving his job in April 1975.

He subsequently coached Galatasaray, Leeds, Arsenal and Wimbledon among others, and was England's chief coach during Bobby Robson's tenure as manager of the national side.
