    During the 70’s I lost count of the number of times I lost my shoes during “knees up mother Brown” in the Brummie Rd.

    I ended up on my a r s e a few times and it was terrifying yet adrenalin filled madness that I loved.

    You had to learn to ride the wave of bodies,being young helped!

    Anybody standing within ten feet of a crash barrier was a moron.

    No surprise to me that so many died at Hillsborough........in hindsight I was in the middle of a death trap at every home match.

    Having missed out on a cup final ticket the previous season, despite being at the semi final, my dad decided we would do all the cup games the following season, collecting the stubs in order to gain a final ticket. He didn't drive so we did them all by train. What a disappointment that semi final was! We barely had a shot and Ossie let an Alan Clark shot in that Crighton would have stopped with one arm tied behind his back.
    I finally got to see Albion play at Wembley v Port Vale. Great day out. We had a thriving Gloucester supporters branch back then and comfortably filled a coach.
    The next time was Derby.
