[Albion] Wally Gould RIP

[Aveacarlin']

1964/5 Wally Gould scored 21 league goals from the wing- surely an all time Albion record for a winger.

Wasn't Garry Nelson a winger?

I don't think a modern day professional would even know what a bus was!

I remember about 20 odd years ago, a Scandinavian (I think) footballer playing for Spurs or Arsenal caused a bit of a stir when he admitted that he went to training by public transport. But that was unusual enough to be noted in the mid-90s, it would be impossible now

An early favourite player of mine when I started watching Albion in the mid-sixties. RIP Wally. Thanks for the memories.

Good player - he was in the Albion line-up for my first game.

And for me, too. RIP to another servant of the club.

Ditto. I think he was the first player whose name I knew. RIP Wally.

As a young boy I was amazed when Wally got on the same bus as me going to the Goldstone with his kit (I always went about 3 hours early).

I wonder what I did with my autograph book from all those decades ago?? Wally would have been in there, along with Jimmy Collins, Kit Napier, Brian Powney, Jonnie Goodchild...maybe even Bobby Smith!! ho hum. Happy days spent watching them train then q'g for autographs. Nice!

They used to train in Hove Park, across from the ground. Bit different today!
