Howells goal was a good one after strong pressing by Slater and Mullins on left. Mullins found Howells on edge of area who promptly lobbed ball into top right corner. Liverpool are strong runners and probably too experienced for our young side. Good to see Offish back on the pitch. Presumably...
No.4 ran from Southwick Green to Rottingdean in the 50's. Was a favourite trip when I was a child. Usually caught the no.2 back to Southwick, which came through Woodingdean (and still does), whereas no 4 travelled along cliff top from Brighton.
Boxing Day was the only day my Dad went out drinking when I was a lad. He went with his brother (a regular imbiber) and his mates. They toured everyone’s house and finished at ours, where they deposited my, by now, tipsy Dad. They always played with whatever new toy I had received for Christmas...
I was there in South Stand ( and for Dave Bedford too). I seem to remember them being greeted with a chant of 'Who the f*** are you' from the North Stand when they came onto the pitch.
I was also there for Norman Wisdom performing his rendition of GOSBTS, cartwheeling around the centre circle.
I was in the home end too. Staying with friends in Darlington, they got us the match tickets. I am not very demonstrative at the best of times so it was fairly easy to keep a low profile. What amazed me though was the intensity of the home supporters. Last game of the season, losing 3-0, and...
9th September 1961, a 3-2 win at Charlton. 2 goals from Laverick and 1 from Nicholas. I was 14 and entrusted to the care of an older cousin who was on holiday from Scotland. He was a football nut then, and still is today. My main remembrance of the game is our left back (David Smith) virtually...
HT 1-1. Our goal great volley from Mullins following a decent cross from (I think) Barrington on the right. Valencia looking dangerous on their occasional breaks, otherwise mostly containing our possession game. They upped their game after their goal.
For those interested, the club have finally realised there is a game due on Wednesday, and tickets put on sale this morning. Still does not appear on U21 fixture list though!
