Graham Lovett
As a youngster he was compared by his manager, Jimmy Hagan, to Duncan Edwards, the Manchester United and England player who had died in the Munich air disaster in 1958.On 27 January, he became the first Albion player to come on as a substitute in an FA Cup match when he replaced Dick Krzywicki at Colchester United.[5] In the fourth round of the cup, Albion met Southampton who held them to a 1–1 draw at The Hawthorns; in the replay at The Dell, goalkeeper John Osborne had to go to hospital at half-time with concussion.His shot hit the post and rebounded to Clive Clark who passed to the unmarked Jeff Astle to score and put Albion through to the next round.On 31 May 1969, following an international tournament in Palo Alto, California, Lovett was driving home from the airport when a bus, which had rounded a corner on the wrong side of the road in Quinton, collided with his car.[15] At West Bromwich Albion's home match against Queens Park Rangers in August 2018, Lovett's family were presented with a special cap commemorating his service to the club.
