I went to my first match at the Hawthorns. I was 8.

There were 9 goals, 2 hat tricks and 3 penalties. Albion team from the programme

Millington
Howe
Williams G
Cram
Jones
Drury
Jackson
Foggo
Smith
Kevan
Carter

Best moment from my years FA Cup Win 1968.
Worst moment League Cup defeat 1967

We beat Bolton 5-4, I presume that was the game. Plenty of goals around that season especially 16th March 1963

Albion goalscorers Kevan 3, Foggo and Howe. A young Francis Lee scored 3 and I think their other scorer was Wyn Davies

That is the correct line up. Back then the programme rarely got it right. I think they just used to print the previous games team. In this case that worked for them as this was the line up from the previous match.
I'm sure I was there but don't recall the match.

Programme had the first 10 correct but I have crossed out Chippy Clark and written in Carter.

And 55 years later you have a great avatar name....

Ah. Carter, saw him plenty of times in the reserves, rarely made the first team.
Unaffectionately known as "carthorse" by my dad & other fans i knew.

I bought (or more accurately had bought for me) the blue star badges with the players photos in the centre to pin on my bobble hat. One every match was all I was allowed. I got all the badges available. Geoff Carter was the last one I got. Says everything; sorry Geoff.

Anyone else remember those badges? Wish I still had them.

I remember those badges well. We had a thread on the subject not long ago. But I would be glad to talk about them again.

I wasn't born 55 years ago but that sounds like a great game my first game was nearly 30 years ago on 24/10/17, when we beat Huddersfield 3:2, with a hattrick for vile t osser Morley

I don't know when we play Huddersfield this at home but I will be watching from same place as 30 years ago in the now East stand

Does anyone recall the 1987 game?

As a reminder the terriers had a horrendous strip that day
