That good old Vauxhall dealer …always wanted the white Astra GTE he always seemed to have on the forecourt
Actually, wasn’t it the launch of the Goalden Gate that they got Nat Lofthouse to come and do at Walsall town hall? Loads of people turned up expecting some juicy announcement about the club’s plans going forward (like when Terry Ramsden was unveiled), loads more went to see “the Lion of Vienna”, and in the end all it was about was a change in the club lottery.

A painful game for Paul Jones who was carried off a couple of minutes into the game following a horror tackle and was never the same player again. Ned and Willie (penalty) our scorers.
The only time I ever went in the seats at FP because of Mrs Hullsaddler and 2 young children. We were at the back in the top right corner and could not see a thing through the ‘glass’ on the side of the stand, Worse view I have ever had at any football match!

First time I’ve ever heard them called “invalid carriages”…
They were known around our way as spazza chariots when I was a kid. Thankfully times have moved on for the better.

BBC News - Gone for a decade: The invalid carriage
The showers of rust from the cowshed roof when we started to bang on the corrugated iron “wall” at the back. Worra great sound!
The clouds of smoke and steam from the railway line behind the Laundry End, wafting over the pitch, as a train passed.
(Apologies if these already mentioned).
Tuncy Sloblock?
Whatever happened to?
Rushall Olympic last time I saw him. A few years ago though.

And more often than not the driver would blow his whistle as the train went past the laundry end.
