Favourite West Brom memory?

[Trouserdog]

Oh God, so many to choose from...

Ricardo's one man demolition job last season has got to take some beating.

Or winning the final game at the Vic 2-1 to give the old ground the perfect send-off?

Beating them 1-0 at home to go top of the league in 92, with thousands locked out of the ground?

2-1 win away in 92/93 and singing "we're only 10 points clear" and celebrating our inevitable promotion several months early?

Coming back from behind twice to win 4-3 in a must-win early season encounter in the same year?


So many memories....so many wins....

I fucking love West Brom.

[walrus]

You've got to include that first half performance when we were 3-0 up at half-time two seasons back. So many great memories of playing the Baggies!

[Pottermr]

6-0 defeat at their place makes the last 20 years even more special

[stokecityscott]

Running down 25 rows of steps when Fuller banged in his 3rd last season what a day

[bigvern]

4-3 was the best game by a country mile and was the starting point for our unbeaten run which ended at leyton orient one snowy saturday if i remember rightly( i seriously need to get a life!!).

Climbing over 3 sets od chairs at the Hawthorns when we put the 3rd in after 22 minutes in 2007. I was on the Championship next day, and after that goal I was relaxed for the whole game, it was one big party for the rest of the game ;D

what a day and to add to it we had fuller to score first at 9/1 with a tenner riding on it. £100 to the good and a 3-1 victory, happy days ;D

[MrDBrent]

when we won 3-0 at the baggies
parkin got the 3rd i think it was like 3 goals in 7 mins

[stokieadey]

Has to be the 4-3 game for me!! 1-0 down, 2-1 up, 3-2 down and finally 4-3 up!! One of the best end-to-end games i have ever seen!!

[cantspellwontspell]

Trousers, you are SO right so many memories.

1-0 (Steino) in 1991/92 in a night match with thousands locked out of the Boothen

4-3 at ours, was great, but he 2-1 at their's in front of almost 30,000 (the largest crowd at that level for decades) was summat else

However, for me it was a meaningless end of season game at the end of the 1996/97, a game I WILL NEVER EVER Forget, tinged with sadness as it maybe, but so very very lucky to have been their that day as I was still at uni, and tickets were like gold dust

[knypersleystokie]

The one where we won 2-0 ..possibly early 90s and we took 8,000..Yes 8,000, what is our allocation now, 3,000?

The greatest away day for me alongside when we beat wolves 4-1 in the mid 90's

[blurtonboy66]

When we beat west brom 3-0 in 82-83 to send leeds down ;D

Totally agree, the 4-3 game is one of the best games I saw at the Vic. (I was at Orient to see our unbeaten run go. Ricky Otto netted their goal too. We used to give him merciless stick when he was at Birmingham).

Just being priveleged to witness WBA in all their majestic glory, playing a style of football not seen since the Magnificent Hungarian Magyars of the 1950s.

Who needs a Ricci hat-trick when you can make lots of nice triangles around the centre circle- now that's what football's all about. Marvellous.

Even Baggies fans now admit this is all they do before hoofing it forwards when they run out of ideas. They might as well hoof it with the first touch and not 93rd.

[Linx]

The last game at the Vic and our last game in the old Boothen End. Old Stoke and Baggies players had a short game before the real one, with Crannie and Mickey Thomas and Ally Brown all playing. Nick Hancock borrowed my pen to sign autographs (for other people, not for me - I don't go in for all this celebrity crap). Great atmosphere, with Albion playing their traditional role by losing 2-0.

[plug]

Getting stiches in Smethick Hospital in '93.

We beat them 2-1 tho!

[eddy_under_fire'sviews]

last year at home was particularly special. what was so funny about that game, was that in truth, Brazil were the better side. yet the 3 times ricci got near their goal he scored.

bet they were truly gutted. LOVIN it

exactly what sprung to my mind ! great mental when parkin banged the 3rd one in after about 25minutes. fucking awesome day that was

[sheikh al dubai bin stokie]

4-3 in the 92/93 season...

echoing the other comments, one of my best days at the Vic

[JoeinOz]

Too many to pick from. There was a fantastic game we won 3-2 in 1979 and Crooks got a hat trick. That was ace. Also the 4-3 win.

[wolvesstokie]

Definitely the 4-3 at home and the 1-2 away victory in the pissing down rain in front of 8000 stokies. Another memorable one for me was my first ever Stoke game at The Hawthorns - a 0-1 win in 1980 last game of the season with Heath scoring.

[GazMcNicol]

Last years was great, but I'm hoping for a new set of memories today!!

(Hope I'm not building my hopes up too much!)

[gilberto]

4-1 at home in about 95. carruthers scored a hatrick! even carruthers could get a hatrick against the baggies.

[JoeinOz]

That 4-1 was Lou's first game back.

[white wall boy]

2-2 at the Hawthorns season we went down to the third division, I think it was Tony Ellis who scored the equaliser? about five or six thousand going mental

I remember the lock out that season at home aswell, rumours going round at the back of the boothen, its all locked up with 15 mins to go to kick off, next thing boothen paddock full, then butler street heaving. Quality ! the place was rocking, Stokies swaying everywhere

Amazing day!

I remember some tit who had a few too many running on the pitch and beckoning the Albion fans towards the pitch in the bottom tier of the stand on the lright. As West Broms boys piled forward, the youth realised he was on his own but with 8,000 Stokies all watching, he decided against the shame of running back accross the pitch and just dived over the advertising boards and into the baying mob. he was eventually dragged to safety by the old bill and recieved a huge round of applause from the mass of Stokies as he was walked around the pitch.

A complete tit, but one of the funniest things I have ever seen at a game.

[white wall boy]

I remember that 2-0 when we scored first the gates at the front of that standing end burst open and loads spilled onto that running track with everyone surging forward with the weight of 8 thousand fans going mental. The old bill took this an opportunity to nick anyone who placed one foot outside the terracing even though they'd got back in by now ! Next thing they opened the middle segregated section and we spilled in. That terrace was proper heaving

[Winge]

Every single time we play them .... just hope today will be the same....fingers crossed....touch wood.!!
