".....what about Ray Potter a very dedicated substitute goalkeeper. I must have seen him play for he was Albion's understudy for about six years and in all that time only made 8 appearances. (Yes sorry used a history book on that just to be sure of my facts."

That history book must have been a fictional one, Silver. I can remember watching Ray a hundred times in the 60s, probably until Ossie arrived in the mid 60s. Ray was always 1st choice, though Rick Sheppard got an occasional look-in.

Oh Bugger again.

You are quite right talksaft; my history book is in fact correct. Just a case of, at my advanced age, can't read along a line of facts.

To put the record straight:
There were two R Potter's who played for the Albion at that time.

R C Potter was a CB who joined from school in 1964 and left for Swindon Town in 1970(8 appearances)

Ray J Potter joined from Palace in 1958 and left to join Portsmouth in 1967.
Ray (the goalkeeper) made 238 appearances in all.

As they used to say on Allo Allo "What a mistaka to mayka"

Think I'll stop posting until my brain re-activates.
