ON THIS DAY
18/05/1962
Relegated to the Fourth Division
The 1962-63 season, which saw the worst winter in living memory, finally came to an end with a 0-0 draw at Wrexham. It was a good result, but it came much too late to help Archie Macualay's beleaguered side, which had been relegated to the Fourth Division in the previous game.

Nobby Upton played last game for Albion
In 1966 Albion lost 1-0 at Oldham Athletic in the Third Division five days after beating the struggling Lancastrians 3-1 at the Goldstone. In goal was Glyn Collins, a 20-year-old who was signed from Cinderford Town a few weeks earlier. He made one more appearance before being released. Nobby Upton, who had broken his leg twice, made his first-team come-back, but it was his last Albion game.
