A game played out before I was even born, but my god what a volley from Tony Brown to take us back up to where we belong!
I'm always spellbound by watching footage of these games online or on VHS etc, but I cannot even begin to imagine how good it must have been to have enjoyed that game live.
Modern football is light-years behind the standard of that set in yesteryear in regards to atmosphere and I'm eternally envious to those who got to soak in those games in the flesh, although it is our history that made me a Baggie through and through, listening to and soaking up these stories of our former glories with pride in my local club. I wouldn't have it any other way!
COYB!

Yes I cried

“It reaches Taylor... he’s upended...oh it’s a penalty... unbelievable. Myers’ challenge, Taylor goes down. The team who just miss penalties for fun now have one of the most vital in their history.
Igor Balis has been targeted as the next penalty taker. Bob Taylor one of several who have missed for West Bromwich Albion.
He’s been brought down. The team who have missed more penalties than they have scored this season have one of the more important that Gary Megson has ever witnessed. There will be some fans who will not look.
There’ll be some players who won’t look. To keep promotion in their own hands. We’re in stoppage time.
Look at the emotions. This is what the entire season has come down to in many ways. The drama will be extended as treatment is administered to Bob Taylor. In many ways a penalty has been as cruel an irony as any other award. Incredible...
West Bromwich Albon have missed so many spot-kicks this campaign. That their automatic promotion hopes should come down to a penalty in stoppage time the 45th match of their League season.
You couldn’t write it. He’s tucked it in! Look at the scenes! A win on the last day of the season and promotion to the Premiership is there’s. Unbridled joy. Has a penalty ever meant so much to West Bromwich Albion? There are kids crying, Even Beefy's crying.”
IGORRR! IGORRR! IGORRR! IGORRR! Was sat in the home end crying my eyes out in joy when that pen went in.
For sheer emotions it's that game or Port Vale at Wembley that rank the highest for games I saw live - I'll always miss the old Wembley and think the new one couldn't be further away from the passion and atmosphere of the old one. Talking of Wembley, I think it's about time they starting moving England games around the grounds again rather than just at Wembley. My favourite England game live was of course vs Greece in 2001 with Beckhams Free kick at Old Trafford. These moments is what makes going the football worthwhile!
