RE: WHO AM I? - Ska'dForLife-WBA - 29-08-2015
Yes, Olsson is one.
Paul Robinson isn't.
Apologies for anyone rooting through old Division Three match reports; after a bit of studying, it seems the original question should have specified own goals scored in the TOP FLIGHT only.
So, that's six players remaining who've scored more than one own-goal in an Albion shirt in the top division.

Reference Silver Baggie's subs question.
Ska'd has put me out of my misery by naming Graham Lovett, and through my travels in Googleworld, I remember reading the first sub we used in a League Cup game was Dick Kryzwicki, who came on (and scored, apparently) in the 4-2 win over Manchester City in October 1966, a game I was at but am blowed if I can remember that sort of detail!
And I am no nearer to naming who our super sub was. Was it Ian Collard? And was he from Stockton on Tees as well??

Stan Jones, who owned a fish and chip shop in West Bromwich High Street, is one.

That leaves the question of the super sub
1) I was born in Birmingham and joined Albion as a schoolboy in 1977.
2) I played 68 league games coming on as a substitute no fewer than 37 times.
3) I scored a total of 15 goals in the league
4) My total for all games, including Cups is 79 appearances (40 as sub) and I scored 19 goals in total.
I could give you his initials but, it's about time you fellas started to struggle a little.

OH BUGGER !! YES
RE: WHO AM I? - Bierzo Baggie - 30-08-2015
Striker born in Tipton.
Sold to a side in a lower division and scored more goals than he ever did for Albion.
His full name contains fewer than 10 letters.
It's not who you think!

Simon Cox?

I could be wrong, but I don't think Simon Cox is from Tipton!
Any more clues, Silver?

Abdoulaye Meite? I know he definitely scored one against the Vile.
