Very sad to hear this. In the 70s West Brom were my ‘glamour’ side because of him and Laurie Cunningham who were able to compete with the great Liverpool team & I distinctly remember him scoring a terrific goal to knock Cloughie’s Forest out of the FA cup. Cyrille Regis, Laurie Cunningham & Brendan Batson had to put up with utterly appalling racist crap in those days ……….stuff that seems barely imaginable today even for some of the Neanderthals at some eastern European venues. It must have hurt – it couldn’t not hurt – but they just had to put up with it ….. not just the endless monkey chants but after some games they could literally fill wheel barrows with the bananas routinely thrown at them (and that’s no exaggeration). Always such a polite and decent man - such a shame. RIP.
