Forest were European Cup holders at the time.
Gerry Ryan's 12 minute goal leads to Forest's first defeat in 52 home league matches, and proves the turning point in the Albion's debut season in the top flight.
Anyone here remember the match?

This has already been up on Seagulls TV - Relive the Glory Years of 1976-83 for quite some time, but worth posting up here today, I thought.
Some requests..............
If anyone ever stumbles across the Match of the Day programme with highlights of this match (or indeed footage of the League Cup game with Forest in 1978 which was screened in Brighton) do let me know....
(Or, in addition, if anyone has the Southampton v Brighton game from Sunday on Sky Sports on DVD, please, please, please PM me). Cheers.
