I remember this game so well. First game of the season, a baking hot summer afternoon, and my wife and I went to the game with a couple of Albion-supporting friends.

Doesn't get much better.

Gary Shaw did his knee for the first time in the game after this. Never the same again.

So why was Allan Evans made captain with Dennis Mortimer in the side?

Cant remember but I do recall a feeling that Dennis's days were numbered - and everytime he was anywhere near a touchline he got standing ovations all day.

I think Dennis was after a new contract and Doug wasn't prepared to give it to him. There was talk of he and Tony Morley following McNaught to Albion, which Morley did a few months later.
