Top class Albion!

Had a rattle with my old man today over the phone, he told me how he received a phone call from Derek Statham from the Albion a couple of days ago. The club are calling the over seventies season ticket holders to check in with them for a chat to see how they are.

The only thing my Dad found strange was why he had suddenly developed a Nigerian accent and why did he need my Dads bank account number and sort code for a “new season ticket”?

😜, no seriously, he said what a great chap he was and at no point was there any sales pitch for season tickets just simply a chat about health, family and the Albion.

First class Albion, you really lifted my Dad, and the rest of our family, so thank you👍🏻


ATWD😎

I had a call from Bob Taylor on my 50th birthday.

Slightly different circumstances......he was p I s s e d ( as usual ) in the Britannia pub in Wollaston and chatting to my son in law and daughter.

Drinks like a fish does Bob......quite sad really as rumour has it he’s got a serious alcohol problem.

Bob Taylor and Ally Rob have both popped into my local. Ally Rob was quite a regular until he finished his job, he used to call in late afternoons on his way home from work. He has hardly changed at all in appearance.

Can’t believe it, the old man’s had another call off the Albion, Bomber Brown this time, to wish him a Happy Birthday!

Hilarious really, he called three times as the old man was busy in the garden, on the third call my youngest brother picked up and tried to shout my Dad down the garden. My Dad said who is it, brother shouts some bloke Brown, Dad, tell him i’ll call him back. Bomber rings a fourth time and Dad picks up, has a right old rattle with him for ages, comes back outside and bol locks my brother blind, why didn’t you bloody tell me!

It’s had the family in stitches!😆
