West Bromwich Albion's all-time leading goalscorer Tony 'Bomber' Brown said he sees similarities between himself and in-form Baggies striker Isaac Price.

The 21-year-old scored the only goal in the club's Championship opener against Blackburn Rovers, and struck twice in Saturday's 3-2 victory at Wrexham.

Price's performance drew praise from Brown, who scored 279 times in 17 years for West Brom.

"He's a good technical player," Brown, 79, told BBC Radio WM. "He finds holes, spaces, and he plays just behind the front man.

"He plays the kind of game that I used to play - waiting for gaps to appear and scoring goals.
