Vs Brazil 1970
Reputed to be the best ever England starting line up with at least 6 world class players, Banks, Cooper, Charlton, Ball, Moore and Peters, in the 11, along with our very own Alan Mullery who marked Pele.
But was it, or just old gits getting sentimental about the good old days...
After years of reading his work and listening to him on BBC Radio, I finally got to meet him when I was invited to join the Boxing Writers Club and later served on the Club committee with him.
He also guested on the phone in both at Upton Park and when we played West Ham at the Withdean.

The legend who handcuffed himself to the North stand goal at The Goldstone.
Need to talk to him, so if anyone has his contact details please PM me.
Thanks

Does anyone know his real name please?
Just covering his shithousery towards Little Nige after the Mansfield boycott/break in, and it would only be right to reveal his true indentity.

Whilst I can remember some things that day like it was yesterday, but at 60 I’m wavering over whether our beleaguered Chief Exec attended the match at Edgar Street, with his Jezebel of a wife, Josephine?
Part of me thinks he did, once the Gulls Eye coach had arrived I had to go round to the...

Between jobs again, not really worked out for him after his trail blazing down at St Mary's all those years ago. ;)

Currently embarking on a writing project, putting my Albion journey on paper, and have made it to the Liverpool cup ties in 90/91.
Would the replay on the Wednesday, despite being a 3-2 loss AET, be many fans last really great night under lights?
Bryan Wade vs Newcastle perhaps?
The Hereford...
Met up with the legendary Hans Kraay at the Caxton last night, and meeting up with the mild mannered 🤣 Dutchman I got to thinking, who was the first player Albion signed from outside Great Britain and Ireland?
To my shame, I forgot about Denis Foreman, a man I was honoured to help on his final...

She's either right up there with Dame Maggie Smith or this is fast becoming a huge miscarriage of justice.
Just seen that Crayford Dog Track had its last night of racing last month and the site is being sold for redevelopment.
To my shame haven't been to Hove Dogs since before Covid, used to love a night out there, and back in the day the restaurant was booked up almost a month in advance.
