Albion database?

[peejay1958]

Does anyone know if there is a website with past Albion results on it? It's a long time ago now but I think the first Albion games I saw were in the early 1970s against Chesterfield, Barnsley & Halifax though I can't remember the scores or who played apart from Brian Powney and the Napier brothers. Can anyone help?

Give me five minutes. I shall consult the bible that is called Seagulls! The Story of Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.

I am assuming it is one of the two seasons - 70/71 & 71/72 as we played all three of those in both of those seasons.

Will produce results and team lineup for both seasons (all three teams in due course).

1970/71

vs Chesterfield - Att 8,023 - 1-2 (Own goal) - Powney, Henderson, Sheridan, Lawton, Napier J*, Gall, Spearritt, Goodwin, Napier K, Turner, O'Sullivan: Gilliver*

vs Barnsley - Att 7,685 - 1-2 (Flood) - Powney, Henderson, Templeman, Goodwin, Napier J, Gall, Flood*, Dawson, Napier K, Smith, O'Sullivan: Spearritt*

vs Halifax - Att 10,671 - 0-2 - Powney, Henderson, Spearritt, Templeman, Napier J, Gall, Murray, Napier K, Irvine, Turner*, O'Sullivan: Duffy*


Does that ring any bells or shall I do the following season?

Ps Please stay away from all future games!

Great link. Just found my first game, 15th Sept 1990 home to Charlton, Brighton won 3-2. Didnt realise it was Johnnie Byrnes debut as well.

The Collectors & Historians Society do a great little results book which you can buy in the Club Shop

Thanks very much for such a detailed reply. The Chesterfield game was indeed my very first Albion game followed by Barnsley the same season. The Halifax game I went to was the following season when we won 2/1 I think.

No problem!

71/72

vs Halifax Town - Att 9,896 - 2-1 (O'Sullivan, Irvine) - Powney, Henderson, Spearritt, Templeman, Napier J, Gall, Murray, Napier K, Irvine, Turner, O'Sullivan: Duffy (unused)

The Napiers were not brothers though. Completely unrelated

BOF - whilst you have the book out can you give me details of the following game:

14.01.1989 Plymouth Argyle home D2-2

Does it have the minutes the goals were scored - im sure Gary Nelson got two in the dying minutes?

Your memory fails you!

vs Plymouth - Att 8,504 - 2-2 (1-1 ht) (Bremner, May) - Keeley, Chivers, Dublin, Wilkins, May, Gatting, Nelson, Curbishley, Bremner, Owers*, Wood** Subs: Cooper*, Crumplin**

Garry Nelson did score a brace against Blackburn in a 3-0 victory 6 weeks later (and another one at St Andrews).

Unfortunately my book only goes up to the 92/93 season.

However, presumably one of these from Soccerbase (the link above didn't have scorers)

1995/1996 Football League Div 2 Th 09May 1996 Brighton 1 - 3 York (Maskell)
1994/1995 Football League Div 2 We 31Aug 1994 Brighton 1 - 0 York (Nogan pen)
1993/1994 Football League Div 2 Sa 05Mar 1994 Brighton 2 - 0 York (Codner, Nogan)

Thanks for looking. The one in 96 was behind closed doors because of the pitch invasion during the abandoned game?

Ah yes. Went to the first one, but not the second (obviously). Great day that. Definitely put our name in the national papers even if NOTW were not so complimentary about us. Would love to read their article about it. Has anyone got a press cutting of that?

I buy season updates from the club shop, in a sort of ring-bound note-pad style. Keeps things uptodate and ticking over

Oh wow. I didn't realise they did them. Seeing as the first book covers 90 odd years, I was waiting to add it to my Christmas list in 2070.

They're compiled by the same author (historyman on here?) - I used to buy mine in 2 or 3 season batches, the last being a couple of years ago. It'd be criminal if they weren't still selling them.

If you are referring to John and Kit Napier I'm afraid they were not brothers.
