West Brom vs Sheffield Wednesday - 1968


Recommended Posts

Went to this game.  Doesn't stand out, a dull 1 1 draw.

 

Went the year before when we won 2 1.  We scored an early goal, then Ron Springett about to clear the ball, was upended on edge of area by Jeff Astle, he dropped the ball and Astle rolled it into the empty net, ref gave the goal - we weren't happy.  1 1 at half time.  Second half we played em off the park and Eustace scored a beauty from 25 yards.  Job done.

I was also thinking about the Astle / Springett incident!

 

Remember everyone being fuming , but chanting 'Justice' at the end.

 

maybe it was the same game when Mobley was hurt near the 'visitors' end and the crowd were giving him stick when receiving treatment.

 

Eustace calmly went towards the touchline and started giving them the 'rods' - memories eh?
