    The Bionic Man was very popular during the mid to late 80’s. I remember some graffiti which referred to Albion as being ‘Albionic’ in keeping with said man’s powerful and bionic like qualities.

    That was back in 1977 hence the graffiti/tag was written as Albionic77. As such I combined Albionic with the year of my birth hence Albionic68. As for HLC from memory he lives in the Homleigh area of Gloucester….. and his name is Chris.

    I couldn't get on the site with my old username, they did some kind of upgrade on it. But when my ST came for the 2011-12 season, they put in it a message saying you have been a Baggie since 1955, and they put a team picture of West Bromwich Albion 1955 in it.

    I used to go on many boards years ago, Celtic, Rangers etc, and some thought i was named Bob Hollux. lol

    A bit old for that stuff now, i'm not a fifty something anymore.

    I used Joy Division not because of the band, although I did buy all their records but adopted it when we achieved promotion to the Premier League for the first time under Sir Gary. I thought we had reached the Division of Joy but in actual fact we reached a division that had an attitude of greedy footballers and agents and a survive at all costs in that division to the exclusion of winning domestic cups that has virtually killed my love of football. I quit attending matches that year and have only ever been to one Premier game and that was because one of my grandsons was a mascot that day. Maybe I should change my name to something else.

    How about changing it to Morrisey.

    Because heaven knows you’re miserable now!


    Regarding the football I feel the same mate :-)
