Dave, I fully agree with you. Another fine player to come from the black country, Wednesbury to be exact, was Jack Burkitt who captained Nottngham Forest for many years including our 2-1 FA cup final win over Luton Town in 1959, and I was there. Forest still hold the record of being the only club to win the cup with 10 men after Roy Dwight was carried off with a broken leg and it was before Subs were invented and when footballers were men, unlike today.
I Left goldings in January 1959 and saw every Forest forest cup game including the 3rd round tie when they were 2-0 down at Tooting & Mitchum and earned a reply at home.
The highlight for me was beating Aston Villa 1-0 in the semi final and I never let Pin Head(bless him) forget it. As we all know, he followed Aston Villa.

I also have vivid memories of the Munich crash.I was working late that day at a drugs firm in Manchester when the news came through about six o'clock in the evening that uniteds plane had crashed and a number of people had been killed.I heard no other details until I reached home I was devastated when I heard the number of players that had been killed Like the rest of the mancunians on that fatal night.Roger Byrne's wife was living in Droysden,Manchester, close to where I lived and was married in the same Parish church where the bans were read out when I got married in 1956.the day after the crash she learnt that she was pregnant my wife Mavis was also pregnant at that time and they both gave birth to boys on the same day 7th of October 1958 but not in the same Manchester hospital.
Another coincidence happened a few years later in the early 70,s I took a extra job on at Belle Vue greyhound track as a supervisor on the tote and who should be working there as a tote operator none other but Roger Byrne's mother I was told that she had worked there since the track opened in 1926.
The first greyhound racetrack in the country and still going.

Yes I remember it well the Munich air crash.At the time I was nine and supported Man United like most young lads still do.I went into a local shop to buy? some pop,and the people were huddled in a group discussing the incident.In that crash was one of finest Englishmen to grace the game of football Duncan Edwards,who came from 4 miles down the road from me in Dudley
They have a statue of him in the town which was unveiled by Bobby Charlton (Read his book on his thoughts to the crash,and how Harry Gregg was such an hero)He played for England at 18,and his scoring record was outstanding in such a short life.His mother passed away a few years ago at a ripe old age.Also there was a pub in Dudley named in his honour,and his grave his constantly visted by many people
Made his debut for Man Utd at 16,his England appearence in 1955,at the age of 18 years and 183 days in the 7-2 victory over Scotland.Hung onto life for 15 days after the crash to the amazment of the doctors.One of many fine players that came from the Black Country,Billy Wright just another that springs to mind

"A tin of tomato's your honour"
"A TIN OF TOMATO'S,RIGHT FOR EVERY TOMATO I TAKE FROM THIS TIN I WILL GIVE YOU A MONTH IN JAIL"
He pulled six tomatos out of the tin.

The Goldings boy whispered "Thank god I put the frozen peas back!!
