He was certainly never around in the 1990s and 2000s, and if memory serves he's been connected much more with Chelsea in recent times.  Saw him as a guest on the old Frank Skinner Show years back, about half an hour on air without a single mention of WBA, not even as a private joke with Frank.  It just doesn't scream "diehard Baggie", does it?

The real cynic would suggest that his interest lasted for as long as we had three top-class black players, because his career at that time was dogged by certain remarks he'd made on stage in Birmingham one night whilst under the influence.

Agree Ska'd. I think it started when Johnny Giles was with us then as you say when we were rockin late 70's early 80's when we were fashionable.
