Bobby Smith coming back from his 1965 summer holidays 2 tonnes overweight. It crushed the memories of the previous season, but, of course, the greatest disappointment was the loss of Barry Rees whose best days in an Albion shirt should have been to come.

Those two tw@ts that nearly sent us to our doom!
Actually felt ashamed for the club when Cattlin was sacked.
Disappointed - Middlesbrough, still hurts, regardless of what we’ve achieved since. Such a long drive home.
Palace play-offs - more anger than anything else.
The Spurs v Stains draw is up there.....

Has to be the chipforks
Bellotti, Archer and losing the Goldstone – though strangely that season is among my most vivid and treasured Albion memories.
Losing 0–5 at Selhurst, and being herded like cattle by the police for the following two hours.
The playoff losses to Palace and The Massive. Though we got there in the end, and in even more style, those hurt.
The Wembley defeat to Notts County. The Ipswich and Millwall games that led up to it were such amazing games, then Wembley felt hugely flat and sad. And it was never a corner either.
Selling John Byrne to Sunderland. Summed up the club's lack of ambition at the time.

Smith’s miss.
91 play off final. Naive Lloyd out-foxed by wnkr who went for 3 big, aggressive CM’ers who took control of the game from the first second.

Thought I was going to be the first to this one! A trophy steeped in history was well within our grasp and we threw it away. The cup final replay was a disappointment but probably expected. As for the Goldstone, it was a dump and I'm not sure anyone would swap the Amex for it, so losing it was not a concern to me, what was dire was the way it was done and the attempt to run the club into the ground.

Wigan promotion game because I was stupidly on holiday. My son got to use my ticket, so at least he got the memories.
