I'm really torn between the 92/93 and 2001/02 seasons. The 01/02 first promotion to the Premier will NEVER be beaten again, it still to this day makes me feel so emotional and brings tears to my eyes thinking about it. After all that though, 92/93 shades it slightly for me. It was like my coming of age season I suppose. I was 16, my first season of going regularly away on my own, great atmosphere everywhere we went,terracing at every ground, the penultimate season of the old Brummie Road. The Brummie was electric that season. It was magical. Who could forget having over half the ground at Mansfield and again on the amazing gloriously sunny afternoon at Chester, the 3-2 away at Exeter,coming from behind, the 2-1 away at Hull with Darren Bradley's lob from 50 yards in the last minute, the brilliant beachwear party at Rotherham. The two games against Wycombe in the 2nd Round of the cup are also lodged firmly in my mind, Bobby Gould climbing the ladder to the T.V. gantry in the televised 2-2 draw in the first match, us giving him so much abuse I thought he was going to fall off! The replay, 1-0 win with a late Super Bob goal, over 18,000 in the ground for a 2nd round replay! Boing Boing really took off that night. The Chester game at home on Boxing Day in the fog, couldn't see Paul Raven's goals at the Smethwick End from the Brummie. So many vivid memories and a wonderful reminder of when football was last truly the game we love. If I could go back to any point in time in my Albion watching days (1983- present), 92/93 is where I would go.
