[Albion] Albion v Fulham 1969

[Not Andy Naylor]

A brief snippet of vintage Albion action at 44.49 here of Albion beating Fulham in the 69-70 season. Johnny Haynes puts the Cottagers ahead before Alan Gilliver appears to punch the ball home from a typical Kit Napier inswinging corner in front of the North Stand. Kit himself nets the winner.

Hope the ref kept the ball, could be worth £3 million according to BBC Breakfast this morning (hand of god ball up for auction expected to go for that amount).

It would be weird to turn up at the pearly gates and find that Alan Gilliver was God.

Oh wow I was at that game! Didn't know, or had forgotten, that it was on TV! (Note the 'proper' Albion shirts )

Bloody Maradona must have been in the North Stand for that one - should have nobbled him then!

Interesting that the camera position must have been near the players' tunnel in the West Stand stand rather than on a scaffolding tower above the East Terrace as became usual.

I love that shirt. I know, I know. But it’s a classic.

Yes it was. A group of us 13-year-olds stood nearby and sang songs about our schoolteachers. These were never picked up on the TV commentary, which we were sad about at the time but, looking back, was a good thing.
