Best performance, John Sheridan for Sheff Weds.

England B v Italy B had some famous players.

Not an Albion match but remember watching an England B match at the Goldstone, with an England team which included Paul Gascoigne. Late 80's before he became a superstar but was still class and generally remember him entertaining the crowd with both his football and his antics!

Opponents were Italy u21's and they included a player I'd not heard of at the time but who went on to be a World Cup star of Italia 90. His name Toto Schillaci.

That was one Goldstone match that stuck out for me!!

Ricky Villa, Stan Bowles, Peter Osgood, Frank Stapleton for Arsenal in our first game in Division 1, Jimmy Case unfortunately for Southampton against us,

Players that I've seen personally - Mick Channon would have to be the most impressive, followed by Peter Osgood.

The whole Arsenal team that took us to the cleaners in our very first game in Division one!

Boy that was a real welcome to playing at that level but we adjusted and can't wait to get back there again.
