Jack Witham signed for Liverpool in the early 70s. He looked a very good striker but I think he only played a few games for them before he had a terrible injury ruined his career.

Thanks for the upload, Steve. Some goals here I haven't seen. Cruyff and Allan Clarke are my two favourite players to watch. Mr Clarke made scoring look so easy - and as we all know, it isn't easy at all. He was sheer CLASS.

I never missed an home game in those days, we didn't win much but we were very entertaining, Waggy was my favourite.

I was a Wolves regular at the time and there was a lot people saying he should be picked for the national team, i think he would have in time if he had carried on.

I was a regular at the Wolves in the late 60s and the 70s, the Doog was idolised by the fans, and with the great waggy on the wing they were so entertaining.

When he first came over from Ireland he was to continue his education , he was added to the class I was in at the Portsmouth Polytechnic. He played one of his early games against Wolves, where he made Billy Wright look like a amateur.

My dad was born and raised in Doncaster, but - so the legend goes - when he was a kid he went to watch Rovers (this would have been in the 50s) play West Brom, and was so utterly entranced by the style of their play (not to mention their cool kit) that he adopted them as his team, forever calling them "the mighty Albion." I was born in 1970 and grew up hearing stories about most of the players on this video. He only got to see them play live twice (once against Liverpool, once vs Leicester City), but followed them to his dying day. I miss him and wish I could have shown him this video. It's absolutely awesome. Thank you.

It would be hard for people to imagine today just how much bigger the F A Cup was than the League back in those days. Winning the League was great of course but most players and fans would take the cup if asked to choose back in 1970. To put it into perspective, Everton won the title that year but highlights of their title clinching game weren't shown on TV. I think BBC Grandstand may have shown literally 20 seconds on the following Saturday's programme and that was about it.

Unless I'm dreaming - I remember watching Hurst play for the Baggies when we were in Div 2 sometime around 1974 or 75???? I'm certain it was Geoff Hurst and I'm pretty certain he scored at home against York City.

Hi David. Yes, Geoff did play for WBA but I couldn't find any videos of any goals he scored for them.
