    46 years ago today

    Just got a mention on Sky footie

    Yanited 3 Albion 5

    Godden
    Batson
    Statham
    Brown T (2)
    Wile
    Roberstson
    Robson
    Brown A
    Regis (1)
    Cantello (1)
    Cunningham (1)

    Anyone else there?

    Apart from that 11 we used only another 5 players (use that number in 1 game now) all season including Bennet and Martin 1 each.

    6 of those would without doubt make my all time (since 62) Albion side 2 other possibles.

    Happy happy days

    The day I became a Baggie. Watched it live on tv as a kid in Sweden.

    I was there , went up there in my mates 3.0 L Capri .
    46 years ago ,remember it as if it was yesterday .
    With a better manager than Atkinson , this team have won the league and Cup .
    The best performance against Man u , in my opinion was when we beat them 6-3 in 68 .
    Astle's perfect hat trick against the team which a few weeks later won the European cup and we went on to lift the FA cup .

    Wasn't there but remember it well. Wednesday night I believe.
    What was great about the results was that it wasn't a surprise really. We regularly hit them for four at least.
    Could be playing them next season as well...
    Great team back then. Quite a few all time greats in that line up.

    For me it is now hard to believe the great talents that were in that side.

    Wasn’t at the 5-3 game but was for the 6-3 win at the Hawthorns. Came across from college in Leicester with a mate who was a United fan. Guess who went back with a big smile on his face? Should have been a bigger margin but they scored a couple of goals late on which flattered them.

    Hi ,do remember Dennis Law missing from one foot out (at the Brummie rd end ) and lifted over the bar.
    Kanu did the same years later .
