No Ordinary April
My favourite West Brom memory is April 3, 1967, when I was 9 years old. First ever football match. Wembley. League Cup Final. West Brom, the aristocrats from the First Division (= Premiership now of course) pitted against the no-hopers from the Third Division, Queens Park Rangers. Half time - 2-0 to WBA. All going to form. QPR score just after half time. Roger Morgan I think (later of Tottenham). Then on about 75, Rodney Marsh weaves through the West Brom midfield and thumps the ball home from 25 yards. 5 minutes from time, Mark Lazarus, QPR's somewhat aggressive no 7 pops up in the box to win the cup for Rangers.

The only tragedy was that it cemented my affections to W12 for the rest of my days.

We've never won anything since.
