    Just an aside, wish we had the number patches on the back of the shirts, at least you could make the numbers out.

    Got quite emotional watching that Soulman. Remember treacy. Good side. I first started watching the baggies when John Kaye, Doug Fraser and co were playing. Happy days.

    Great to see John Osborne too. Remember him drinking a pint of beer during a match. A fan gave it him and he kept it by the post until the ball went down the other end then he's have a crafty drink. Great keeper.

    John Osborne’s testimonial was my first game I attended, think it was in the same year as this game 76/77 season.

    There keeper wasn’t very tall ? Or did our team make him look small ?
