[4evaabaggie]

I was born to none sporting parents, my father was a railway man, hard to believe but I did not know about football until I was about six, born in Somerset but living in reading by then. My parents had divorced and my mother remarried a Baggies fan, my first game was aged about 7 around 1973, an away game at the manor ground, Oxford 1-1 Albion.
In 76 we moved to Cradley Heath ....... so first visit to the shrine would have been around then, money was tight and the details are sketchy.
