He took his son and myself out for a jolly day out at the footer - FA Cup. Coventry were playing this team called West Bromwich Albion and I was dazzled by the colourful Rosette and the pretty bird on the badge and took a shine to them. Plus their fans were a friendly sort and one of them lifted me up to see the pitch when the crowd got a little boisterous. The rest is history.Great story, Stairs!
I am Northumberland born and bred but moved down to Wednesbury with my dad's job when I was a very young lad, and fortunately he wasn't really into football so I had a clean slate to choose from, if that's not mixing my metaphors.
I'm going to be in Blighty when Walsall appear at Wembley, so I might enquire after a ticket for the game. Anyone else fancy it?
