Very few apart from the obvious ones. All West Midland clubs except Coventry.
(Most enjoyable was watching Wolves getting stuffed 0-6 by Liverpool; and a former player scoring a hat-trick against his old club. Anyone remember Alan Evans.
Leicester (Filbert St)
Swansea (The Vetch and The Liberty)
Chesterfield (for a cup replay against the Saddlers)
Anfield
Hereford Untd ( To see them play Preston when Bobby Charlton was Preston's player/manager but he dropped himself and didn't play)
And of course Whaddon Road to watch Cheltenham.
May add Oxford Untd this season as the Robins have a pre-season friendly there.
Non League would be Halesowen Town and Alvechurch (back in their glory glory days of the Amateur Cup)
Only been to the old Wembley twice to watch:- Halesowen play Rugby in the 1983 FA Vase final
and a match against Scotland at full international. Cant remember the year but England won and scored 3 goals the first from Frannie Lee. If I remember correctly Scotland had a Birmingham City player in goal that night. Can't remember his name.
A what a terrible memory; just google'd it.
It was 1969 and England won 4-1 with two goals apiece for Peters and Hurst.
The Birmingham City goalkeeper was Jim Herriot.
Another Senior moment.
