It could never be the same,but let's hire Lee Evans to recreate that for the opening of Falmer.

Or put it on the screens when the Albion run out,and play it to greet every Albion goal.

Did they show all of it ? Is there more that could grace our new Museum ?

Good old Norman.

Brilliant bloke.

That was absolutely brilliant. Lee Evans stole his act but at least he's keeping it alive.

RIP Sir Norman.

Norman Wisdom

I met him once. I remember my Mum & Dad not believing me at the time, which was a little annoying - I must have been about 10.
For some reason I was at the Goldstone on the East Terrace (Chicken Run) on my own.
I normally went with a group of school friends which including a current Director at the Albion, Derek Chapman.
I remember the crowd wasn't that big that afternoon and he came up and started talking to me. I was a big fan of his at the time, seeing his films at the local cinema, 'The Gaiety', in Lewes Road.
I was amazed at how 'normal' he was. He spent quite some time with me leading up to Half Time. At the break he bought me a bag of peanuts !! Brilliant bloke.

Wisdom famously re-wrote the lyrics to Brighton and Hove Albion's anthem, Sussex by the Sea, and was regularly on the pitch at The Goldstone Ground singing it and whipping the crowd into a frezy before kick off.

RIP Sir Norman 1915 - 2010.


We`re the team from Brighton
Brighton by the sea
Eleven players and a crowd that will roar them to victory
So shout you fans let`s hear you roar
Clap your hands until you see us score
For were going up to win the cup
It`s Brighton`s now for sure.

:albion2:

Oh we`re the team from Brighton
Hove by jove thats us
We`re always fair we never swear
But now its sh*t or bust
So shout you fans let`s hear you roar
Clap your hands until we score
For we`re going up to win the cup
It`s Brighton`s now for sure.

The correct version,as published in the programme for the Chesterfield game in 1965 has already been posted elsewhere on this board.

This is NOT NW's version.
