I was on a coach travelling to Filbert Street when I heard Willie Johnston had signed for the most boring Albion Don Howe team (pre Pulis) I had ever witnessed.

Memory I have is (v Bristol Rovers I think) we were winning easily and Willie had tormented a young full back. Late in the game he nut megged the poor lad got to the bye line and crossed it. Rather than look up to see where the ball went he carried on his run, stood on the wall of the Brummie and raised both hands in salute. Box office, pure box office.

Today he'd probably be booked.
