Arroloui was his name. I think he went to ja606 but did a Lord Lucan (well not the killing bit). He might even have joined new606 if I remember correctly but didn't like it like most of the ja606ers. It was too fancy for them!

He texts in to Radio Leeds post match and gets read out now and again.

Apologies Amelia Chaffinch. No offence intended.
I have loved the Baggies since the 1950s. In those days football was an almost exclusively male, and working class male at that, preserve. In those days nearly everyone stood and there was no segregation.Like many clubs we regularly played in front of 50k and the atmosphere was often electric with so much noise. There was bad language but more directed against the players than rival fans. Separating the fans as a result of the fighting in the 1970s has solved one problem but created another, in the form of inter-fan no-holds-barred abuse. Players were treated like Gods, even though they were not paid so very much more than the people watching them.
There was a lot about the old days that was better than the current match day experience. However I much prefer the fact the girls and kids can now watch the match in safety and comfort these days and are appearing in greater numbers. I took my daughter and her half-sister to a match recently. Unlike you, I imagine, they are not serious fans. However they are both high on life and socialising. They laughed and enjoyed every second of the game. All the fans around engaged with my girls and laughed with them This may surprise you but when you have watched a couple of Tony Pulis matches, you'll know what I mean!
As for the name "Alouion" it is a corrupted version "Albion" which refers to "England" and predates the birth of Jesus. I wanted "Perfidious Albion" but some blighter from Brighton beat me.
I look forward to seeing Huddersfield at the Hawthorns and have no doubt you will provide tough opposition.
