As a ****ager I was in the Smethwich end whilst Ozzy smoked a fag and took swigs from a pint of bitter a fan had passed him.
He chatted his way through the half with everyone behind the goal.
What a magic person he was.

Who remembers QUIZBALL. Flippin great prog in its day. John Osbourne was brilliant at general Knowledge. The rest of the team hardly contributed much as Osbourne carried Albion to the final against Forest in 1968, but i don't remember if we won it or not.
Anyway Here's a photo

I think that was a later year. Before that all I can recall of our team was Ozzy, Doug Fraser and Percy Thrower. We lost(?) to Arsenal (?) in the final (?) who had a right clever dick in Ian Ure. I remember Doug Fraser having no idea where the Granite City was. Answer being Abeerdeen from where he joined Albion. I think it was 1968
Quizball was introduced by......?
