I asked Jeff about this once, and he said he remembered it, only asking cause it was the first game I went to, and its funny how the mind plays tricks on you. I think it would have been the 72/73 season, though not sure.
Couldn't have been that season. Banks had his accident in October 72 and never played for Stoke again. We didn't play West Brom until later in the season.
Cheers for that, it must have been the 71/72 season and the goal must have been disallowed, as we lost 1-0 and Astle only scored 2 that season. I would have been 7 at the time.
From the Park Drive Book of Football Edited by Gordon himself.
1967/8 Scotland Vs England, can identify Moore Banks and Styles, anyone else recognise the others?
