I too saw him play for the Baggies in the early 70's when the Villa played WBA.
Remember blagging our way into the throstles club ( don't know if still exists?) before a charity / testimonial game , ? Asa Hartford?, where players from Villa, Blues, Wolves and Baggies were playing. Where we sat was right in front of a huge picture of Jeff scoring in the '68 Cup Final............until my wife spilt her Port and Lemon over the table and stripped the varnish.........we beat a hasty retreat.
A tragic loss to a dreadful disease........RIP Jeff.
