I listened to this on this morning's dog walk - an interesting insight into the Albion just before I was old enough to pay too much attention.

I also had to check wikipedia to see if Pele is still alive* - the way he talks about him, I thought I'd missed his passing!

Scored the first Albion goal I ever saw live.

Does he justify why he switched off to earn a move away from us? Soured his Albion time for me.

He was a really good player.

Remember singing “Danny what’s the score” when he came to the Goldstone with his first division Luton team in the cup....we beat them 4-1, he acknowledged the song and told us the score.

One of my first Albion heroes.

Loved him, great player he was exactly what we needed a tough no nonsense northern midfield dynamo at that time.

He was great. Weirdly he’d been played as a winger before he came to us, which I struggle to see at all.

I was a huge fan.

Not quite as big a fan as [MENTION=249]edna krabappel[/MENTION] though, I believe :whistle:

I remember that well as it was my birthday and we smashed them.
He was a good sport about it.
Happy memories.

Quality player, Danny Wilson.
It seems wrong that his type don’t still have a role in football.

Scary to think that was 30 years ago isn’t it.

Funny the little things you remember.

Yeah. As soon as I saw it was Danny Wilson I thought of “Danny, Danny what’s the score?”.
I’ve still got the programme.

Chris Eubank shadow boxing the north before the Benn fight is another one....will never forget that
