Just coming to the end of his career when I first started supporting the Baggies.
Peter Barnes signed from Man City I think and part of Big Ron's magical football team.
Finally Davy Burnside and his famous juggling tricks.
My second game at the Shrine FA Cup 4th Round against Bolton.
Ball passed to Davy out wide on the right level with penalty area. Catches and holds the ball on his right instep. Big burly Bolton defender runs towards him intending to hammer Davy into Row Z.
Davy flicks the ball up and catches it on his left instep. Bolton defender now changing direction and legs well apart.
Davy nutmegs him, runs around the defender and lets fly from the corner of the area; beats Bolton's goalie all ends up.
Trouble was that kind of skill when it mattered was all to rare for Davy.
Good at entertaining the crowds tho with his tricks pre match warm up.

Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
