Just Eric Alexander and Ray Donn remaining now.

I remember Albert Alexander.

Young Albert or Old Albert?

Young Albert or Old Albert?

Old Albert when Joe was manager.

Old Albert when Joe was manager.

That was Young Albert I thought, Eric's father. Old Albert apparently drove the horse-drawn coach for our victory tour after the 1904 FA Cup final.

Ok,but the Albert I knew had to be in his 70s when we won the league in 68.Maybe his 80s.

Is Chris Muir still alive?

Was it Chris that had tobacconists on Cross St in the city

With Bernard Halford passing and now Ian, that has to be the last of the Swales era. They will all now be meeting in the directors lounge up in the sky blue sky.....
RIP Ian

Too many folk going for my liking. Wiggy Swales will be taking the roster on the door and reporting that there are only two people in the Lounge.
RIP Mr Niven.

Knew Ian from going in the Royal Scott. I got wrongfully arrested at Villa away in 1990. He supported me and gave me a great character reference. Thanks Ian. Lovely man.

That was "Young" Albert. His father died in 1953.
