Any old fans on here remember him from the 50s I’m told? If so, any memories? Asking for a friend... :)

I’m pretty sure he was the goalie for the first game I saw around 1962. Gill had finished and I think McGonigal was around, but pre Powney (or he was still with the youngsters). All a bit of a blur now!

Anymore stories, anyone, but far back I know, but never know and worth a bounce!

Uncle Hiney can dig whatever you need from his VAST library of all things Albion. He is a colossus of all written stuff. :lol:

I used to work with his son and also new his other son. I met him a couple of times and to say that he was a ‘lovely bloke’ would be an understatement of biblical proportions.

From memory his grandson played in the same youth team as Tom McGill.
