Subj: Re: More Manchester United Anyone?
It
is enough to make Geoff Astle rise from his grave, repair the medical
problems of Hole in the Hartford and encourage Bomber Brown to bomb
again. Without caring about showing my age, and I apologise if this
seems irrelevant for this particular mailing list, but I used to go
alternate Saturdays to see either West Brom or Villa at the time, was
that team in the early 70s the best West Brom team ever or is the
current team better?.

How on earth did the Baggies get into this .... apart
from being blessed
by
a miracle at the weekend of course.
And I was
born and bred in West Brom as well - although it is something
I
generally keep quiet about!
