Jeff Astle day

Well done to West Brom, no sponsorship on the shirts, their fans always seem join in with things like this as plenty of white shirts in the crowd. Who would we have a day for ? My immediate thought would be to have Duncan Forbes day.

Jeff Astle gave me 50p once when I was a little boy - used to clean my Dad's office windows. Tried to get him to come on at the end of our Sixth Form pantomime but the git never wrote back!

Would have been about 1985 he gave me 50p. Sixth Form panto was 99 so if he was unwell then I take back referring to him as a git, didnt realise he was unwell at that stage. I was too young to remember him personally but my Dad spoke of him fondly
