.....we beat West Ham in the 2nd Leg of the League Cup Final. (1st Leg: 1-2 at Upton Park, then 2nd Leg 4-1 at The Hawthorns).

I always quote the 2nd Leg as my favourite all-time Albion performance that I've witnessed. It was also the best atmosphere I can remember - I felt a bit of a heel for not waving a flag or a banner - there must have been 100 flags waved that night as we stormed off 3-0 at half-time (or was it 4?)

The team that day was:

Potter
Cram, Campbell, Fairfax
Fraser, Hope, Williams
Brown, Kaye, Astle, Clark

(no subs, of course)

Fantastic memories!

If anyone wants to know exactly what the Brummie Road End looked like that night...

Silver, you might be old enough to remember :

Was Graham Lovett injured? How about Stan Jones, as well? Danny Campbell made a rare appearance (I'd never have remembered that), and Gray Williams must have covered for Lovett im m/f, with Fairfax filling in at leftback.

I was old enough to be there that night too.

Strange question this for both Stan Jones and Graham Lovett did play against Sheffield Wednesday on the 18th Feb and again against Northampton Town on the 26th but, neither played in the midweek second leg game on the 23rd against West Ham.

Both players were usually regulars that season for league matches.

Lovatt and Danny Campbell had both played in the first leg at Upton Park but, again Jones was missing that night too.

And for all you youngsters out there, Northampton Town really were in the old  division 1 but were soon relegated.

Here's an enjoyable quiz question for you all:- We started our defence of the league cup with a bye in the first round but, who did we hammer 6-1 in the next round on the 14 September 1966??

Walsall.

[silverbaggie]

Walsall.

No but a team that may soon be playing them in local derbies!!
