Aye. Time flies all right. 51 years since we lifted the FA Cup. Just a few years after I'd started supporting the Albion and in the middle of a roll of winning the League Cup, losing in the final, reaching yet another FA Cup semi final and losing another League Cup final. I thought life was going to be like it all the time. We even moaned at being known as "Cup fighters" and were puzzled we couldn't seem to win the League.
Also 50 years ago. You could play football in our road all day long, no one had a car. You just needed to mind out for the bus. Not everyone had a telly, and there were only 3 channels but anyway, you only needed the one with Bonanza. Our neighbour had the only phone for a distance, we could have borrowed it if we'd known anyone else that had a phone. My Grandad used to moan about the Minister for Transport being a woman. Life really was simple.

Most shocking of those is the Clough one for me. It only seems like a few years ago

I'm shocked that Sophia is still with us.
