Personally, I prefer the Norwich highlights. The Case goal ranks as my favourite televised Albion goal, primarily because he tucked it away in front of the North stand and the crowd surge is excellent.

Thanks for posting that! So interesting to see the difference in style of football in those days, much quicker, much more hoofing, but boy was it exciting! Wonderful to see Robbo and Ritchie but a special mention must be for Tony Grealish who had a blinder.

I always wonder how Michael Robinson's final goal crept. The defender looks favourite but it just has enough pace to get over the line.

At 17:53 it's me and my mate Karl. Sadly Karl is no longer with us.

The ref for this was the lino who gave the penalty in the final. HB@B the 1983 Cup Final expert . Nobody knows more.

Wow. Brought back some wonderful memories of The Goldstone, for me, that did.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting, saw myself behind the goal.....

Amazing game and City once paid I think 960 odd thousand for Robinson as an unknown at the time.

Second or possibly third game I attended made sweeter on this occassion by being accompanied by a City STH pal (they got their revenge last game of the season). Recall the gales of laughter that accompanied Millard's "...in the event of a replay arrangements will be...." announcement at half time.

Robinson never got the adulation he deserved. One of our best ever strikers.

I never even got there, some ******* stole my nephew's BMX overnight so I gave up going and spent the afternoon trawling the estate looking for it, we never did recover it

Thanks for the link. Really enjoyed watching that. I was at that game, my Dad took me. I was 11, a proper little Albion fan. Jimmy Case - loved him, based my fledgling football style on him, didn't win me many friends..

I bet quite a few left early when it was 3-0. You can see them leaving early in the Lego stand. Leaving early is not a new idea no matter what anybody says.
