and later that year, of course, the great Bobby Smith made his sensational debut for the Albion in a 3-1 win over Barrow at the Goldstone in front of 20,000 of us in Division Four.

Bit worried for Lady Godiva up this way. Flaunted her body about. Will probably get feminists agitated in the current climate. r

Dad's Army is still the best comedy show on TV (sadly)

I saw N Ireland win at Wembley in 1972. One Willie Irvine had a good game and laid on Terry Neil's goal.

Went to England v N Ireland at Wembley in the early 70s. Scorers were Charlton, Hurst, Peters and Best (Wow !!!) It was Bobby Charlton's 100th cap as well. England v Scotland used to be almost as big as the cup final a week earlier.

We also played Charlton on 13th April 1979 - think it was Good Friday and nearly 31,000 were there (including me) Clark scored our first in a vital 2-0 win. Seem to remember the second was an og.

Trump will have a field day when they get over there !

My solution (not based on £££££):- End season now for all divisions - use average points per game or whatever, to decide promotion / relegation/ Euro places. Teams in play off positions to play BCD at an agreed venue. One leg SFs and a final 2 days later - to be arranged whenever safe to do...

Preaching to the converted. I've been cycling every day for about the last 35 years !

I turned 70 earlier this month, I joined in July 2003 and I still haven't cracked 1500 posts yet. Is this some sort of record ?

Why can't you ?

In the very early 60s a bloke in a white coat used to go round after half time and whitewash the scores on the wall around the pitch (against the letters)

I sit in my bath and I have a good laugh. Will the aardvarks ever reach the summit of Mount Panama ? (A line I have had stuck in my brain since about 1967)

Radio's better. The Now Show is making a pretty good stab at it.

If the season is cancelled, does that mean that we didn't win away to Arsenal, Jahanbakhsh didn't score the goal of the season, Connolly didn't sensationally beat Spurs and GM still only has 109 goals ? (On the other hand, we didn't lose at home to Palace either)

The number of times I've said "unprecedented" is unprecedented.

Where have the bike sheds gone ???

My 1960s ITT Jet Set Transistor Radio. Bought for me by my Mum in 1969 the day before I left home for Uni and still going strong. It has informed me of everything that has happened from the early Apollo moon landings to the dire news of late. It has survived everything from radiograms, Sony...
