West Bromwich Albion legend Bob Taylor will tie the knot tomorrow – to a woman he first met when she charged him an entry fee to his own testimonial event.

'Super Bob' Taylor met his bride-to-be Celina Seddon, at the former Spencers Arms, Hagley Hill, in 2003, when she was working the door part-time. The venue has since been turned into The Wychbury Inn.

Miss Seddon, 42, a freelance photographer, did not recognise the famous Baggies goal-grabber despite it being an event in his honour, so she charged him a fee.

In the years since, friendship has blossomed into romance for the pair and Taylor, 45, proposed to Miss Seddon in Paris.

Alan Cleverley, secretary of the Albion supporters club and a close friend of Taylor's said the wedding would be at St Peter's Parish Church in Pedmore, Stourbridge.
