[Albion] Questions for Fred Binney

[Driver8]

Appears quite a few of us were JCLs at that time!

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Was there ever a game where he hadn't been to the hairdressers the day before!?

 

[Box of Frogs]

Which game does Fred consider to be his best for BHA?
Who was his favourite strike partner?
Who is/was his best friend in football?

Thanks for the memories Fred - one of my earliest Albion heroes.

He probably won't remember this,but I certainly do

March 1976 Shrewsbury at the Goldstone

Night match,losing 2-0 at half time

Last minute of the game,we have a penalty at the south stand end (I was right behind the goal)

Fred Binney with his back to the goal,waits for the ref to blow the whistle

turns round and buries it in the corner for 2-2

and of course playing with the bandage round his head for the Hereford game

Sometimes it was ball on spot, back to keeper, one step back (still back to keeper), spin and slot the ball into the corner. Can he talk us through his penalty technique ? How did it evolve ? What was the most important penalty Fred scored ?

A photo from my second ever Albion game - just in time for tomorrow.......

Dear Fred - can you put the hoodoo over Posh so we can score another 5 ?

Is that Eric Steele in goal for Posh then ?

 

[BLOCK F]

No questions really as I think they have already been asked,but thanks for some great memories,Fred.
Enjoy your retirement!

You'd be hard pressed to separate Steele and Mick McCarthy these days.

He was also one of my very first Albion hero's as a youngster I remember on one occasion I bunked off school one day to watch the Albion train if I remember correctly in Hove Park, after I asked Fred for his autograph and got a righ ear bashing from him telling me I would amount to nothing bunking off school and sent me packing never did it again I can tell you and he was correct I never did amount to anything

Is Fred in contact with any another Albion players from his time at the Lbion if who and what are they up to these days?
Other than kicking off from the centre spot can Fred ever remember touching the ball out side the six yard box?
I have very fond memories of you scoring loads of goals in the blue and white just like to say thank you

Just looked at the programme, was I really watching a future Albion goalkeeping legend concedeing all those goals...............

Yes and you also watched former Albion players Bert Murray (no. 2) and Jim Walker (no. 3).

Eric Steele had an absolute stormer in the match at Peterborough in November 1975...
