    I'll never see The Albion play again

    on Saturday 29th February as I'm not there tomorrow and the next one is 2048!

    Last time. Saturday 29th 1992 Division 3 beat Torquay 1-0 in front of less than 12,000. I wasn't one of them. How times change.

    Before that Saturday 29th February 1964 League Division beat Wolves 3-1. I was 10 and probably amongst the 19,000

    From memory I was on exercise in Germany around that time, I'll be at the game tomorrow though. Mixed results for the Midlands teams that day but we won through in the end despite some dramas.

    'Albion were beginning their one and only stint in the third tier of English football and welcomed Torquay United to the Hawthorns for a stormy affair.

    The Baggies prevailed with three points through Roy Hunter's late goal in a game they finished with 10 men, while two Torquay players were also red carded.

    The late Justin Fashanu was the first off for Torquay for a dreadful tackle on Paul Raven, with further scenes developing as he headed for an early bath.

    Albion's Darren Bradley and Wes Saunders also dismissed for clashing near the touchline. Substitute Hunter, 17 at the time, got the winner on 82 minutes to put the home side third'.

    Darren Bowen

    Scott Darton

    Adrian Foster

    Les Palmer

    Derek Monaghan.

    The list of talents is endless.
