I was talking to my brother who has this annoying tendency to say that any player who can pass a ball three yards is 'worth the gate money' and it set me thinking about who I have actually paid to go to see - in a game that didn't involve The Albion - and I can only think of three:
1. Willie Johnston: I loved him when he was with us, and so stood at the Blues for a night game when he turned out for them a few years later.
Still feel itchy thinking about it.
2. Frank Worthington: Same - he was playing for the Blues and the was the only reason I went.
I've always put failing my A Levels down to the damage being 'among them' did to my IQ
3. Bergkamp: I was living in London and went to watch him look disinterested for an hour and get substituted.
So, not sure it is worth the effort, probably won't bother again.
