[Albion] 60 Years ago today

[el punal]

As an aside my first game was Albion vs Palace in 1976. I was in the South stand surrounded by good natured Palace fans, there is no way that will ever be repeated.

The only explanation for that is (1) You were dressed as Father Christmas, or (2) You wore a bloody great Fedora a la Malcolm Allison.

Whisper it but I did actually only go to that game to see what the fuss was about Peter Taylor on the wing and Malcolm Allison’s high flying team. I had only recently come to Brighton and had been a Spurs fan (from a distance) for 10 years.

It was only the second live game I’d ever seen and I was hooked, took me a couple of years to accept I was actually an Albion fan and no longer a Spurs one. It never crossed my mind to actually support Palace even though I had gone to watch them rather than the Albion

I expect to get crucified here

Oh the shame of it.
