Was at the Spurs game. Was at the West Ham away game, the dingles game ...... and so on, but I don't think I've ever seen us so dominant in a game for 80 mins as that Reading away game and then go to complete shit for the last 10 minutes. Still couldn't believe we lost that game for quite a while after.

Fantastic run-in in our promotion season with Meggo.
Went to nearly all the matches home and away. The feeling after each one was something else.
Missed the Bradford games but that was the best feeling listening on the radio.

4-3 at Ipswich in 1983 after we we were 3-2 down with 2 minutes to go. Mick Perry equalised in the 89th minute to make it 3-3, they attacked from the kickoff to try and retake the lead. Cyrille pick up the ball on the edge of our area and ran and ran and ran the whole length of the pitch to their penalty area where he was bundled over by Butcher. Garry Thompson scored from the spot to spark manic celebrations in the away end. 4 black players scored for us - Zondervan, Cyrille, Perry and Thompson - which I think was a first.

When we drew 5-5 with United I absolutely couldn't stand them. I was jetlagged to hell and travelled straight from the airport to the game having flown from Canada. After 30 mins I was regretting it. By the end of the game it was worth it

The 3-4 at West Ham was unreal and yet, from the time we got the first, their was that feeling from their fans that they would self destruct. A great away day.
The 4-2 vs Spurs that Cornish mentioned. I reckon that's when it dawned on most Albion fans that we really had a good side that season. Where I used to stand, mid Brummie, 2 Spurs fans cheered their first and somehow got away with it. They didn't the 2nd time, God knows what on Earth possessed them but it was a suicide mission! I nearly got battered by our own for being in the way. Their mob stormed the Brummie at the end, most of our lot had left but steamed back in to remove them. Jeez, times were hairy back then.
For sheer misery, I'm surprised no one has brought up the QPR final, '67. 2-0 and we managed to lose to a 3rd division team. Us Albion fans were the laughing stock of the school on the Monday after.
