Brendon Batson - BaggieSteve - 06-02-2017
Not sure if anyone caught an interview with Brendon Batson last night (Sunday) on BBC radio Five. It was on at about 9.15pm and it was excellent. Brendon talked about his career with most of it focusing on his time at the Albion and it was like a walk down memory lane for me. Not surprisingly, he spoke very warmly about Cyrille and Laurie as the Three Degrees but he spoke equally positively about Tony Brown, Len Cantello, John Wile, Ally Brown and Derek Statham. Although expressing his dismay about Big Ron's later comments as a commentator, he was very complimentary about him as someone who encouraged all his players, regardless of their race or colour. Brendon came across as a really warm, friendly and intelligent guy..just what you'd expect from an Albion player! They also played the radio commentary of the Albion goals from the 5-3 win at Old Trafford; spine tingling even now and after so many years on.

I regularly watch that match on you tube, never get tired of watching it and always feel great afterwards.
RE: Brendon Batson - Arcane Astral Aeons - 06-02-2017
was at that game
my first away game aged 13(yes i`m old)
was kinda too young to realise what it meant beating man u
was only after watching it back on you tube
the realisation sank in that i was actually there
and what a performance
since then have seen many great baggies goals
but non as good as len cantello`s
to me the greatest goal ever
