1st half of extra time at the Hawthorns just finished.
I'm sitting here shitting it thinking the baggies will sneak a winner.

Pound for pound the very best striker we've had in the Premier League. He has a one in two record for us and played around 100 games. He also played in some really shite teams and still excelled.
Without the Achilles injury he would have cemented himself as one of the best strikers in the world IMO.

I’d guess the shirt is due to it being the one Mortimer wore when we won the league. Shirt sponsor added to make him a few extra ££. Le Coq Sportif shorts as they made our kit at the time (1985). Probably had them out the club shop.

Apparently his celebrations were giving some back to Ron Saunders. Bit of a told you so Boss moment.

Yes Saunders knew how to wind him up. He did the same at Everton when he scored goal of the season as well.

I knew he'd had a rough time towards the end of his career and after but no idea it had been so bad for him. Good to see he's got himself back on track recently.
