    Was 58 years ago today

    My first Boxing Day game at The Hawthorns Baggies 4 Spurs 4. Seen some belting Xmas matches in my time and always in front of big crowds. Any memories anyone?

    Hi, I was trying to find footage of this great match 1-3 and we got the draw. https://www.worldfootball.net/report...enham-hotspur/
    I was at this match, remember the roar of the crowd when we got the 4th.
    Spurs had some good players like John White and Jimmy Greaves.
    The gate was 37,101 plus the ones the turn style men used to let in.
    2 days later we beat them at the lane 0-2

    Not a Boxing Day match but the 4-2 home win v Spurs after being 0-2 down at half time in the 77 era and the Spurs fans then taking the Brummie Road is a very vivid memory for me.

    I’ve seen us serve up some real rubbish on Boxing Day in all honesty.

    I got thrown out for fighting before KO had to pay again to get back in, went in the left side to have another go.

    1967 - Baggies 3 Man City 2. The year Man City won the league.. Huge crowd - a lot of whom ended up on the touchline; as those who had passed out, in the crush, were passed down overhead to the front. A couple of days later we did it again and turned them over 2-0 at Maine Road

    Went to both of these, come back from Maine rd with no windows in the coach.
    They got their own back in the charity shield.

    You fighting Lloyd, I can hardly believe it!?🤭😳

    It’s the only time I’ve seen the away fans take the Brummie, they poured in and absolutely cleared the place......not our finest hour!

    Hi,I've been a good lad since I met my wife when I was just turning 28.
    Although nearly lost it in Morrisons last week, my wife when in Ist and I parked the car. Walked in the entrance and a big bloke was shoting at the morrison girl I'm not wearing a f in mask.
    I looked at him and he said what you looking at, I said not a lot would you you talk to your wife or girlfriend or maybe boyfriend like that. He mutted a few words and put a mask on.

    I thought Villa in '84 was Boxing Day but looked it up and it was Jan.

    Is this bit of my memory correct? We were losing with 10 mins or so left when Regis and Gary Thompson scored 3 between em in front of the Brummie. And it was raining.

    Memories of early games get confused after so many years but I do always remember us beating United 6-3. Was a standout memory.
