Old fat and bald.

[The Blue Leprechaun]

Top of the morning to you all from Ireland.
This is my first post but not my last.
Supported the club since 1959. Goldstone days.
Used to take empty beer bottles to the offie to get the entence fee.
6 pence old money back then.
Anyone remember them times?
Rattles, wooden boxes to stand on, passed over-head down to the front.

Hello. I started in the same year and I remember all of that. In fact I was passed down to stand on a crate at my first game v Villa (30,000+ crowd)

We used to have a poster called OFAB - standing for Old, Fat and Bald. He changed his name. That is all.

I've heard people talk about this (not just at the Albion) - did this really happen? So a kid would turn up at the back of the stand and just get picked up and passed to the front? Different world, innit.
