Silver,
That League Cup run really caught the attention of the fans. It started with our 1st game v Walsall when 41,000 turned up. Then I went to the Cov game (1-1) - my 1st evening away game. Then the Villa, where we queued up Sunday morning right round the estate on Halfords Lane, as you said. 45,000 that night.
Magic moments. But the best was saved for the Final, when Albion played the best football I've ever seen from them to beat West Ham - and the Brummie Road was alive and on fire that night with always 2 or 3 different songs on the go. There were probably 50 or 60 flags or banners waved that night, and the sound was deafening.
Ska'd, that "Son of my Father" song was first sung for Ali Brown.
Keep this great thread going.
We can list all songs/chants over the years. I'll post the 1st songs from 1964 later on - should be interesting, and will keep the invincibility of those old songs.
