    1958-59, we won 2-1 and Kevan scored the winner, three minutes from time. I missed it because my mates and I left with about five minutes to go as we wanted to get the bus back to Leominster. In those days the local bus company, Yeomans, used to run coach trips to matches in the Birmingham area.

    Hi, my grandad told me he used to watch Albion one and the Wolves when Albion was away and when there was a derby both fans mixedon the terraces.
    Can't remember if it was like that in 61 .

    Would be somewhere mid 70’s? At home and can remember George Berry for Wolves clearing the ball over the Halfords, love to know what game that was?

    Mid 60's we won at home 4-1. I remember Mike Bailey who I think was the Wulfs captain scored their goal with a blistering shot. If I remember rightly we had played them at their ground only a few days earlier and had drawn with a disputed Tony Brown goal. Might be wrong as my mind has gone to boll*x now.

    You're right I was at that match and had a clear view of Bomber punching the ball into the net. The Wulfs goalie was so incensed that he got sent off for moaning too much. First game was c 1960 - we lost 1-0 - can't remember much apart from the size of the crowd
