[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Unpublished (no longer) 'Zines - And Smith Must Score, Gulls Eye, Scars and Stripes..

Writing 'Zines.....seems to have gon out of fashion fro our club.

Don't worry just three more to go......

[Kalimantan Gull]

make up any kind of phrase no matter how uneXciting in order to complete the albion a-Z quickly rather than think about it

Yeh come on DwG, it's been fun

 

[Bodian]

Yeh come on DwG, it's been fun

It has - good thread. Where do we go from here? I agree - the OP should be the one to round it off! Shall we give them a time limit before we all pile in with our ZZ??

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Sorry, not been around much for a few days:

ZZ- Zamora or Zaha - who is your favourite Z?

Zinedine Zedane - No thanks, Not whils we have our Chis.

ZZ- ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz That's quite enough, thanks to all who took part.

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Okay, I can tell everyone is really missing this thread so let's modify it a little bit.

For many of the pairs of letters, there were more than one suggestion for lots of them, so lets get a definitive list for each pair. Of course, there will be many where we can get none, so they can be skipped.

So, for each pair of letters use them to come up with two words each starting with the letters that have an Albion connection. Can be players, dates, officials, grounds anything as long as it is just two words. Get as many couplets as possible for each pair of letters. Try not to move onto the next one until we think we have exhausted the current one. Feel free to go back and check the original list and use them to get started.

So, AA looks like a good place to start:

Andy Ansah - Played for the Albion
Albert Adoma - Played for Boro in THAT game, and there is a story, not sure if its true of him following the Albion coach giving them 'banter'. Also played in the Villa team that denied us the Championship title a year later.
Arthur Albiston - Played in the '83 Cup finals against us.
Arsenal Away - Never won there.

That sort of thing.

Any more AA's?

 

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Andy Arnott - played in midfield when we were just starting to recover from our darkest days.

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

Ade Akinbiyi - More than a goal every two games on Average

Loads of others listed in The Albion A-Z Book - is that cheating?

NAH!!!

A Allen - 1 appearance back in 1903
Arthur Archer - Just one season for us
Arthur Armstong - Bit part player
Arthur Attwood - Scored 6 times v Shoreham in our record FA Cup win.
Alfred Ault - 1 appearance, 1 Goal

Aldershot Away - Always a fun day out whatever the score.

After Archer - Things only went and got better
