The club shop had the Phoenix Brewery shirt for £5 just a couple of weeks ago, they also had the Caledonian shirt for £30

Is that in the store as I can't seem to see it online?

See if i can find it at the ground on Sunday! Cheers

My first ever game at the Goldstone. Sat in the west stand and loved it. An introduction to the Albion I'll never forget

Remember seeing all that going on that day. Football and fighting. Plenty to take in for a wide eyed 7 year old

Was my first ever Albion game at the age of 13. What a first game to see. A pity that the majority of next 32 years have been shit.

Does anyone want to see extended highlights of this game? I'll see if I can get round to posting those up if you do.

 

[Ernest]

I still don't know how that team got relegated, how things may have been different if we had lost in the Cup earlier and won league games instead

 

[Dave the OAP]

Great day that was. Excellent play by the late great Tony Grealish,

I agree with Enerst. We were an excellent team and we didn't perform in too many games!

Remember it well, it was a tough time for me as I'd just dropped out of Uni and was back home on the dole. Hitched a lift to that game from the A23 Patcham with a hungover set of City lads in a Salford Van Hire transit. No seats in the back, they'd been driving all night. Good banter, and we arranged to have a beer afterwards. They never showed up. A like to think I would have done if we'd lost 0-4.

Love the way Robbo ran over to the away end to celebrate in front of his former team's fans. None of this 'no celebrating' malarkey.

PG

Robbo was virtually unplayable that afternoon. Forget all that league title/European Cup winners medal with Liverpool stuff...his greatest game

Hand a stand off in the Tell one year,suggested if we were not gonna fight might as well have a beer together,it was a good idea

 

[Barry Izbak]

"ooh can't wait to see who we get in the next round"

"How about Liverpool away?"

"Nah, I fancy someone we can beat and maybe go all the way to Wembley"

14 year old Moshe can be seen on there celebrating Robbo's goal (down the front behind Corrigan). It is one of only two bits of televised Albion footage where I know I can see myself. The other is the news coverage of the Lincoln game half-time protest.

Presumably people on here have their own "you can see me on the telly" Albion moments - some more than others...

Moshe can you remember some lad giving corrigan loads of shit all game one off my great memories of the north stand he was relentless in telling Joseph Corrigan how crap he was lol.
