I'm having trouble occupying my mind until I toddle off to catch the 1158 to Charlton on Saturday , so I started thinking about my Albion Scarf. The one I wear to games, and indeed was giving it a bit of a twirl last night when Monsieur Knockeart opened the scoring with that glorious free kick, is one my mother knitted for me in the 1970's to replace the one that she knitted for me in the early 1960's, and which our puppy had chewed to destruction! This same scarf went with me to Wembley in 1983, when a couple of Manure fans tried to mug me for it on my way out of the stadium after the replay.
Any way the question is - who on NSC can lay claim to having the oldest Albion scarf still going ?
I'd had you down for one of those silk numbers with the Dolphins written on them
Oldest one I've got is a blue and grey one I found on the train back from MK, looks like it's from the mid 80s
Oh come on, someone was gonna do it
My first game was against Hull in autumn on 1977, I was allowed to go as my older cousin was considered 'responsible' (he had a car). At the next game, he gave me his scarf, but it must have been fairly new as it was a 'Seagulls' scarf. Had it ever since, still take it to games. One of the few games I haven't had it was when I lent it to a girl I was keen on who took it to the cup final replay. Won't be doing that again.
