[Bournemouth Baggie]

Told the story before but Mum and Dad grew up in the Midlands and would make regular trips back at weekends. My Uncle would take me to the Villa (this is from around 1967 so I am 6) and my Grandad or Dad would take me on two buses from Kingstanding to The Hawthorns. I can't remember my first game, most memorable though was October 1969 beating Manchester Utd including Best, Charlton and Law 2-1, 48,000 and literally being passed over heads to the front so I could see.

In the school playground in the mid 80's, when boys were talking about football teams, it was either Villa, Wolves or West Brom.......I chose west brom, I Later found out my great granddad played for them, and my old crazy nan sold a FA Cup medal from 1968. My first match was for my birthday against Watford, I think Don Goodman scored the equaliser, an over head kick.....I was in the family enclosure ! my first away match was against wolves, I always remember the smell of the Brewery !! Had a season ticket for many a year, however, with two children now, time is limited, however, you can always find me trying to get a signal to WM commentary and me shouting F words in the garden. Time to convert my son who will be 1 soon................

Who was your Great-Grandad Baggie-One????
