Feel like this is a long shot but anyway, here we go!
I want to try and track down the person who made me an Albion supporter, just to say thanks really - watching this club has made me really happy recently. When I was young I was living in New Zealand, we had family friends who had emigrated from England that we met around 2001-2003 ish. I have a really clear memory of sitting in their computer room and there was gear everywhere; mousepads, scarves, a big signed poster, signed kits.
So I'm relying on the chance that someone who was such a big supporter and who had so much stuff at that point in the club's history probably being a local and leaving a footprint.
Problem is it was a long time ago, and my memory isn't great, so the clues I have aren't especially great and there's not many of them. Here they are:
* He had a partner called Tracy (Tracey?) who he had moved together with from England to New Zealand (to a town called Cambridge on the North Island - Chris Wood went to school near me!), probably sometime around 2000-2002
* They weren't married, but did get married while I was there so I think that was probably around 2003-2005
* I think his name was Dave, but I'm 60% at best on that and might just be remembering it as Dave cause it's a common name
And that's all I can remember, lol. I'm really hoping that someone from those days who seemed a proper fan would be known enough for those details to jog a memory.
Thanks!
