John Talbut

[mdd2]

I think he's got it

[ClaretTony]

It is John Talbut - was taken in Spring 2015. I don't know how he is now but he was certainly sadly suffering from Alzheimer's a few years ago.

Got it.......John Talbot

[CrispyClaret]

John talbut, used to live on Red Lees Avenue opposite Jimmy Holland. If memory serves, Frank Casper lived in the house next door but not necessarily at the same time.

The "BIG T" John Talbut he won FA Cup winners medal in 1968

[mkmel]

A centre back if my memory serves me right.

Or a centre half as they were called in those days

[beddie]

Did he have a connection with WBA.

[ClaretTony]

Did he have a connection with WBA.

He played more games for West Brom than he did for us

[South West Claret.]

A former centre half = lots of heading balls = Alzheimer's, a simplification maybe but you can see why there is concern about the connection.

Roger Eli?? You've got to be kidding

It is clearly John Francis..

[Lord Beamish]

Didn't Talbot end up playing in Belgium, and eventually settling there after retiring?

[KeighleyClaret]

We sold him to WBA and the first game he played for them was - away against Burnley. He was made captain as soon as he signed so captained them against his old team.

And he scored his first ever league goal in that game too - scored an own goal at the cricket field end in the first few minutes to give us the lead.

I found these two this evening.....so I thought I would share them.

God I have some crap I need to get rid of.
