I was at that game
A mate of mine is a Reading fan. When he retired I made a card with this on it. The legendary Robin Friday celebrating scoring a goal. Classic.

Not Albion related, but one where my dad is stood next to Bobby Charlton, when the great man held one of his soccer schools in Bexhill, way back in the late 80's.
Where's that Alex Dawson salute, marvelous
Yes, I was able to have a chat with him when my lad won a place on his Crawley course in 1990. Chatted more about the state of and poor quality of driving more than football but was a privilege to spend time with the great man.

Don't know why I can't embed it, but a proper goal by a proper centre forward
Scoring for Cardiff though
Being old, I remember this (also watching it on tv in black and white). A phenomenal day.

Strange day. 'The crosses of St George are flying high!". Er, no they weren't. Everyone was waving a Union flag. The UK and GB Was England, in England, back then. Also, football was so unremarkable and/or inaccessible to those not living a walk from a stadium that you could have rocked up to that final and paid on the gate. Imagine that!
