    My dad supported Leeds but watched Albion with me.

    He was a massive Giles fan and always rated him the hardest b a s t a r d he ever saw on a football field.

    My dad thought that Giles and Bobby Collins were genius footballers and he absolutely raves about John Charles.

    Hi Mick Booby Collins was a great player,till that Italian broke his thigh bone in a euro match. Have never heard anyone break his before or since.

    Johnie Giles and Ronnie Wheelens view of the holding midfielder, great term for this type of player " the Barber short back and sides" he receives the ball of the centre half and passes sidewards we got a few of these.
