I was born at 3.45am on 28/08/1982. We played Ipswich Town at 3pm that afternoon at the Goldstone. Yesterday for my birthday, one of my prezzies was a mint condition programme from the game

1-1 draw away to West Ham in August 1981. The season we finished 13th in the top flight.

A Neil McNab penalty, I was in the Chicken Run and had to stifle my celebration..

 

[Everest]

19th Agust 1961

First day of the 61/62 season, away at Scunthorpe in the old Div 2.

3-3.

That put us 11th in the table. We were to reach the heady hights of 4th 8 games later, but finished bottom.

The first Albion match after I was born was away against *Crystal Palace* which we lost 0-1. Not my fault, I assure you. I was busy. We ended up 7th that season, top was Bristol Rovers and our neighbours up the London Road were 13th. Unlucky for them.

 

[kevo]

A 1-0 away win at Notts County. Jimmy Collins scored the goal. It left us 17th in the old Div 3. We were relegated at the end of the season

On the day I was born 1-1 draw away at Swansea 1967, no idea who scored for us

 

[Bob!]

Lost 2-0 at Bristol Rovers on the day I was born.

 

[Southern Scouse]

We lost away to Plymouth, 5-0 in 1962. We were bottom of the league. Only positive was that I was born in that year and Liverpool won the league. Divine intervention.
