    In the summer an Albion X1 played a cricket match v a local cricket club (was it Stourbridge?) FA cup was on display we were allowed to hold it.

    Great memories for a Baggies mad 14 year old.

    Oh and I was physically sick with excitement a few minutes after that goal.
    Hi I was at the cricket match at the Dartmouth cricket club and also held the cup , no mobile phones to capture the moment in those days .
    I also touched the World Cup when it was paraded round the Hawthorns on the tour of the grounds , can't remember which match anyone remember.

    It may come as a shock to you but the World Cup trophy paraded around the grounds was a fake

    After all these years I thought I had touched the world cup , hope it was made in England not a Chinese knock off.

    Held the Premier League trophy around 20 years ago. At least I thought it was the real thing.
