I went as a kid and was behind the goal at the Brummie Road End.
I could see nothing really. But all I really remember was a huge cheers as Albion attacked.
Then two guys lifted me up and I saw the ball crossed from the right wing and Jeff Astle rising up and crashing in a header from about 5 yards.
A magic moment and a boyhood defining memory as I followed the Albion ever since.
I'd like to meet those two guys again and ask them why the ***K they did that! If it were not for those interfering "do gooder's" I might have gone the next week to see Leicester, Villa, Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea - anyone but West Brom play and it could have been so less taxing
