Ska'd has put me out of my misery by naming Graham Lovett, and through my travels in Googleworld, I remember reading the first sub we used in a League Cup game was Dick Kryzwicki, who came on (and scored, apparently) in the 4-2 win over Manchester City in October 1966, a game I was at but am blowed if I can remember that sort of detail!
And I am no nearer to naming who our super sub was. Was it Ian Collard? And was he from Stockton on Tees as well??

Stan Jones, who owned a fish and chip shop in West Bromwich High Street, is one.
That leaves the question of the super sub

1) I was born in Birmingham and joined Albion as a schoolboy in 1977.
2) I played 68 league games coming on as a substitute no fewer than 37 times.
3) I scored a total of 15 goals in the league
4) My total for all games, including Cups is 79 appearances (40 as sub) and I scored 19 goals in total.
I could give you his initials but, it's about time you fellas started to struggle a little.
