The Old Brummie Road End.

Yes great days and memories. Over 50,000 for a night match against Man Utd when we won 6-3. One poor guy had a heart attack and died in the crowd. You could get into the stand by going up the terraces at the back of the stand. Sammy getting on the crash barrier and getting the crowd singing. You dare not fall over during a goal celebration as you would have been trampled to death. I loved standing on the terraces back then but I could not do it now as my arthritic back does not let me stand on the same spot for more than a couple of minutes and I have to move about to relieve the pain. There just is not the same atmosphere sitting down for some reason.

Remember the game well. One of the last to get in before gates closed. We were 3-0 up in next to no time if I remember correctly. I also think that it was 6-1 with little time left and they scored two late goals to make the score more respectable. Could be wrong as it was over fifty years ago. Mind you, crowds of 50,000 plus we're not unusual in the 50's. My first ever game at the Hawthorns was over 50,000 against Wolves 58/59. We won 2-1. Kevan scored winner 3 mins. from time. Campbell scored the first. Oh, to have those days back!

Yes you are right, winning 6-1 then a couple of G Best moments of magic and they made it a more respectable score. We had beaten Blues in the semi of the FA Cup on the previous Saturday, then beat Man U in the week and then beat West Ham (I think) on the following Saturday. Today's snowflakes could not manage 3 games in a week let alone win them.

I was at the West Ham game, I seem to think it was Asa Hartford’s debut. Also, I have a vague memory that we played Man U on the Monday and West Ham on the Wednesday or Thursday. Doesn’t sound right by today’s standards but who knows? It was a loooong time ago, and the only fact I am certain of is that I was there!

I was at the 6-3 Man U game & Wet Spam 2 days later. I recall The King scored a hat trick on both occasions or maybe it's just a senior moment!

You are right. I saw all the games at that time
