List of goalscorers
The West Bromwich Albion championship team
Team photo of West Bromwich Albion as English champions 1919/20
The following list lists all players who played in a league game for West Bromwich Albion during the 1919/20 season. It must be noted that in English football a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of missions and the goals scored are given in brackets.
