Photo Exhibition 2011 .. Then and Now
I’m planning an exhibition of portraits of Albion fans and those who turned the club around from near oblivion. The exhibition will be a series of images taken from my archive and present day portraits of those same fans. Below are images of fans im trying to trace.
Do you know them? If you know them or are them please contact me. I want to photograph you and do an audio interview to include in the exhibition.
Your reward will be a print of your choice from the book More Than Ninety Minutes plus your portrait from the exhibition.

I was beginning to think that there wasn’t going to be any goals in the game as there hadn’t been to many chances during the game that i can remember. Suddenly we had a corner from which Mark Morris eventually hit the bar confirming my thoughts. But suddenly the ball fell to Stuart who struck it into the net to spark off unbelievable celebrations on the pitch, off the pitch and in the dugout. Could we now keep our composure and see the game out to a memorable 1 nil win? We did! What a day and what a memory.

As the ball came in my direction I headed it goal wards, the keeper punched the ball to Mark Morris who in turn thumped his header against the crossbar. As the ball fell my way I realised I had time and space to score. I tried to steady myself and concentrate on hitting the target. I made great contact with the ball and hit the net. My celebrations were a blur and it took me several minutes to recover from them.

This goal was the new culmination of a truly amazing football story. This was my team. The first match I ever saw at the Goldstone was with my dad against Doncaster Rovers in the late 60’s. For me it happened in slow motion. A ballet of goal mouth action before my eyes. I missed the moment the ball bent out the net. For me the enduring emotion of that day was the near closure of 2 amazing great escapes on and off the pitch. Nearly 10 years on we still wait for a place called home.
