Albion just missed out on the Third Division playoffs in 1992, and shortly afterwards Bobby Gould resigned. His successor was Ossie Ardiles. Ardiles was in charge at Albion for only one season, before being lured away by Tottenham, but he guided them to promotion: a 3–2 aggregate win over Swansea City in the playoff semi-final set Albion up for their first appearance at Wembley for over twenty years (and their last ever at the original stadium), when they beat Port Vale 3–0, in front of 43,000 of their own fans. Bob Taylor's 30 league goals made him the top scorer in Division Two.
