League Division 3 5th October 1976

It was a very wet and windy night at the Goldstone Ground and the Albion were entertaining Walsall in League division 3.

The score at half time was 0-0 everyone was a bit fed up with the performance of the Albion so far and standing on the open east terrace (nickname the chicken run) and being wet through did not help.

So the talk at half time was we will give it a while in the second half to see how it goes and if no improvement then it may be time to go home and dry off.

Well what a second half Peter Ward scored 4 and Ian (spider) Mellor got 3 to give the Albion a 7-0 victory.

If ever there was a game of two half’s that was it and anyone who was there that night will never forget it?
