The West Bromwich Friendly Societies Charity Cup, better known as the West Bromwich Charity Cup, was a football competition for teams from the West Midlands region, though at least one team from outside the area (Everton) also participated.
In 2014 three medals awarded to West Bromwich Albion reserve player Stan Amos, including his 1924 West Bromwich FSCC winner's 9-carrat gold medal, were sold at auction.[1]
