Hello everyone
Been a guest on here for ages, now taking the plunge.Thought this thread would be a good
place to start.
Black country born and bread, parents god bless them, Mum was born in Wednesbury, Dad born in Darlaston. We lived in Bentley went to school in Darlaston you where either Albion or Wolves Due to to Dads job moved to East Anglia in late sixties. Was born a baggie Dad Grandads and Uncles all baggies.Now in my sixties with retirement approaching in a couple of years, and always a baggie they have given me endless broken hearts but loads of memories too. More to come I hope.
Went to my first game late fifties and yes did get carried over shoulders in those days to sit on the wall in the brummie road. The first vivid memory was the team of Bobby Robson,Don Howe Derek Kevan Davie Burnside Tony Miilington in goal.
Favourite sides- Cup sides of the sixties March 66 league cup final v west Ham what a night first time I saw them win anything. Then late 70,s early 80,s
Favourite player- So many but with my old Grandad on this one Bobby Hope, has Grandad used to say he could place the ball on a tanner from a pass one end to the other.If he wor playing well the whole team ay playing well.
Used to be the travel secretary for the London branch late 70,s early 80,s never missed a Saturday match home or away from sleepy Suffolk. Dont get up much these days try to fit a few games in during the season. Hoping Ipswich get promoted as they are on the doorstep, looks like they are blowing up now though, unless the dreaded happens dont want to think about that.
Well that,s me in.
