Graham Lovett, of course. Got 2 cup winners medals with us in the 60s. And, terrifyingly, will be 70 this coming Saturday. Where has my youth gone?

I wrote to Alf Ramsey in 1969 telling him to come and have a look at Astle and Lovett because, if Graham wore a Liverpool or Chelsea shirt, he'd be great alongside Alan Ball and Bobby Charlton for England.
I don't think Alf ever turned up at The Hawthorns, but he couldn't ignore Jeff topping the national Scoring Charts for the last 3 years.
Graham Lovett never got a look in for some reason, but he really was a 'great', despite 2 broken legs. Injury forced him to retire when at his peak. He had everything in my view.
