Bobby Brown autobiography

Re: Bobby Brown autobiography

Other than the Villa game, possibly the best match I can remember involving Bobby Brown was a 4-2 win against Palace, an evening game a few months before he got injured. I'm not sure but I think he may have bagged a couple of goals that night.

One of his goals that was brilliant.

Has anyone mentioned that he was an England amateur international?

Played in the 1960 Olympics I believe.

I just remember it being a great game Bob but I can't for the life of me recall the goals.

He did indeed, just checked, scored 4 in 3 group games for GB.

In my mind’s eye, I have it as a shot on the turn from the corner of the Grange End/Bob Bank a bit closer in than Peter King’s amazing volley against Middlesbrough, but your mind can play tricks on you. What I definitely remember being thrilled by one of Brown’s goals and thinking I’d never seen anything like it in my young life.

The game was played on 30/8/67 (thought it was a bit before that) and there were 14,351 watching it.
