Just who was your childhood Albion hero?

[SICKASAGULL]

Its got to be Ward every time, other than him I go for Jimmy Langley,after he moved on I used to attend the odd match at Fulham just to see him play.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I don't remember this LC scoreline (was it that season when we also drew them in the FA Cup?), only the 0-4 reverse on the opening day. But I well remember the Forest game, especially John Robertson missing a pen (saved?). I had only just moved to Mansfield, and was the toast of my new (Stags-supporting) friends in the pub that night!

This was our 1st season in the top flight so, having already lost 4-0 at home to the Arse, we then drew them in the FL Cup and drew 0-0 at the Goldstone in a midweek game where the Old bill were outside whilst there was mayhem inside.

It was that replay that we lost 4-0 and glen geared had, i believe, his one & only 1st team start.

We did lose 2-0 at highbury in the FA cup and it might well have been the same season.

Childhood Albion hero... Eric Gill. Because I was crap at football they always put me in Goal.

He also used to live at the top of my road (Mill Rise, Westdene) and wink at my mum when he walked his dog in his flat cap.

His dog wore a flat cap??
