Albion literally meant 'white land' and that was in reference to the white cliffs which pepper the South Coast of England. And there are, of course, huge white cliffs close to Brighton and Hove.

He is based in Florida, where he is the founder and CEO of HealthAxis Group, a software company based in Tampa, the city where he was born. In 2024, his net worth was estimated at $100 million (£79.5 million). He is the son of Dr Kiran C Patel, a Zambian-born, Florida based businessman and entrepreneur.

Albion's "club anthem" is The Lord's my Shepherd, a setting of Psalm 23. The song originated following a rare Sunday game in the 1970s and has been sung at matches ever since. Supporters of the team celebrate goals by bouncing up and down and chanting "Boing Boing".

Boinging originates from an innocent remark made by Malcolm Boyden on WM when,as a reporter on one of our games, he said 'the Baggies are boinging their way to promotion' (in 1993). The Brummie Road took it up,and the rest is history.
