I remember going on the stadium tour before the start of the 98/99 season.
The players actually had their training session on the pitch that day, so my brother and I were ball boys for it. We got pictures and autographs with Mark Fish, Gardner, Bob Taylor, Neil Cox, Branagan, Holdsworth and several others. It was an absolutely brilliant day. We even ended up playing head tennis in the changing rooms. Something like that for a 12 year old just helped to prove why BWFC is MY club.
My Dad asked the tour guide (an older fella called Tom), "is Nat around?" as the great man was my Grandad's all-time hero and Mr Lofthouse actually left a meeting to come out and meet my Grandad and take a picture with him. What a legend. I still have the picture framed at home.
