Wasn't it Gary Chivers who was interviewed after a cup defeat (away at Swindon?) who thought it was a League match ? He kept referring to the points we had lost. Shows that not all footballers are clued up .

Well, I for one saw all his appearances (that's the one season where I did all 46 league games home and away).

Good work, mate. I wasn’t there but I think that was the game where Bobby Z was injured and the Col U fans were saying they’d smash us because we were a one-man team. And then the Albion fans started singing
1-0 to the one man team etc etc

Uber fan!!!
The Albion were fined by UEFA for not fulfilling their media duties away at Roma.
Managers were required to conduct a pre-match interview pitchside, but Roberto De Zerbi got stage fright and wouldn’t leave the tunnel area.
David Weir had to be found and rushed pitchside so the Albion had someone to face the media.

Around 1986 Lawrenson and Maybank amongst others used to frequent Corals Squash Club. One night Maybank got barred as he couldn't be arsed to go downstairs to the toilet and pissed in a plant pot!
Bumping into Stuart Storer in Berlin was a bit random.
I always thought that was Fozzie?

Definitely Maybank. I was only 17 or 18 and fancied Lawro's ex-wife big time!

It was, and it was early 80s.
If you start bringing out Ted drinking stories there'll be hundreds of them.

What I thought was ‘strange’ is that I got approx 40 instances of what I can only describe as hate mail (or similar type communications) from Albion fans when the CKR signing started going south.
Cos it was obviously my fault right!?
DK phoned me up at about 1030pm on the night CKR left to explain why we sold him, but my overriding emotion was genuine relief.

Memories eh! I thought Ken Beamish had replaced Kit, I forgot that Kit had moved sideways.
Wouldn’t happen in Düsseldorf.

He must have been broke as he didn’t have a pot to piss in.

Imagine this thread in 2050, no players in living memory will have done anything interesting nor ever shared same public space with any fans or press to have witnessed.

I posted something on here about CKR being a bit lazy and received a really abusive PM from his father/stepfather (?). I apologised and said I would not have posted it if I thought it would be read by his family. We became almost internet mates after that as he apologised to me about his rant. We then exchanged a few interesting PMs until CKR moved on.What I thought was ‘strange’ is that I got approx 40 instances of what I can only describe as hate mail (or similar type communications) from Albion fans when the CKR signing started going south.

Real shame you got abuse as it was pretty bloody exciting when you ”won” him
