Desert Island Albion

Stat Brother · Dec 10, 2013

***WARNING - NOSTALGIA*** ***WARNING - NOSTALGIA*** ***WARNING - NOSTALGIA***

You know the rules

- 8 Albion memories
- 1 Albion DVD
- 1 Albion luxury item.

In no particular order, but trying to shy away from the obvious ones:-

1 - Donny @ home
2 - Leicester away - Stuart Munday's wonder goal, Nogan/McDougald and Case getting sent off for being old.
3 - Storaaaaahh
4 - Second half v Millwall in the playoffs
5 - Chappers goal v Bournemouth to make it 3-3, smashed into the roof of the net sending the floodlighted (sp) spray over the North stand.
6 - Any time Buckley and Calde have roasted and bullied a team, in unison.
7 - Away to Huddersfield, Wednesday night, early 90's, we won 2-0. So many memories from my time as an uber fan. I miss not being one of 200 'hardy souls'.
8 - Peterborough away, THE FA cup match.

DVD - Either Donny or St Patrick's Day, probably Donny.

Luxury - Tough one this, I'm thinking a Goldstone floodlight with the means to power it, but I might change my mind when I've thought about it.

these will do for me, hours of fun

withdeanwombat · Dec 10, 2013

1) Season 1971-72. All of it, please.
2) The last 2 games of 1964-65.Stockport and Darlington ,52,912 watched these games in Div 4.
3) Bill Curry- hatrick v Portsmouth- 29,000 saw it.
4) The home game v Middlesbrough. Lost 4-6, an improvement on the 0-9 away.Thanks , Cloughie.
5) Sitting in the West Stand @ the Goldstone listening to us lose a cup replay at Bedford.
6) The Willie Irvine goal cited.
7) I'm sure, in a youth game at the Goldstone, I saw a player fall over the wall into the east terrace. That.( He wasn't hurt)
8) Peter Ward. He didn't just shoot and score, but ran opponents ragged. Well done Wardy !

DVD ? Not sure, but if one was available of Norman Wisdom singing (performing) his now misquoted version of GOSBTS, that would be good.

Luxury item ? Pesonal lift to the WSU cos I'm dodgy on my pins, though not obviously disabled so the stewards won't let me use the lift.

Happy Christmas, Santa. I'll leave the treble Talisker for you if you can get me these things, and sadly, yes, I've been a good boy.
