not sure why but i remember that game as being when i realised what a great goalscorer hales was
I remember the baggies fans were not happy at the station. Hanging out of the train doors as the opposite platform serenaded them with 2-1 chants. It was a really good game too.
I'm guessing that Derek Hales had something to do with the goalie John Osbourne being laid out. It seems that Brown, Wile, Robertson and Mulligan are not amused. Keith Peacock minding his own business ....
Why do the WBA players all look the same?
Wasn’t that the Friday night game where West Brom were at the top and going for promotion and the next lunchtime Killer was the guest on the ITV football programme and when asked about their promotion hopes he said something like we stuffed that or put a dent in it, or something to that effect ?
Some interesting pictures re the Arsenal cup tie, we played in all red in 1968-9, in league games at least, don't know why they put on the white ones for the photoshoot. Maybe the red ones were in the wash.
As stated above, all red was the next season.
We definitely played in an all red strip in the 1968/69 season.
Yes we did. Check out the 68/69 Charlton Derby match on YouTube. Ok it's black and white, but shorts match shirts!
We played in all red in both 1968/69 and 1969/70 seasons. I loved that kit. My first game was in 1968/69 so it brings back great memories. I had a team photo of that season on my bedroom wall at the time when we were in the all red kit - sadly the picture is long gone.

I remember that game, pretty sure it was on a Friday night. WBA were top or near top.

I was at the front of the South Terrace and in the 1st half Osbourne was involved in some light natured banter after Killer scored trying to make the goal smaller. He seemed like a good egg so was a bit upset when the Covered End started singing Osbourne is a wa**er in the 2nd half. This photo may explain why. Hales was on fire at that time
The frontage with the sign is the Seabay Fish Bar. I can't copy the image from Street View. The crowd is all heading to Valley Grove for the Jimmy Seed Stand as now is.
The photographer must have been standing on top of some kind of platform, the top of a truck maybe? This isn't taken from a house and would explain why so many are looking the way if the camera.

Was about to share the same photo as TellyTubby above. My best friend's mum still lives in the house with the mural on the corner. Edit* which I'm retty sure it was Sam Bartrams shop.

Only joking.
