A magnificent fightback against the reigning League champions. At the time, teams just didn't go round to Anfield and storm back from two goals down.

Extraordinary.

I hope this jogs a few memories!

ahh just look at that packed Kop terrace

 

[gripper stebson]

I was there.

I was sat in an isle seat and when we equalised I remember running to the bottom of the stand, then back to the top and then back to the bottom of the isle with excitement!!

I was 18 then. I'm 38 now.

Depressing!

 

[k2bluesky]

Remember I nearly had a heart attack with excitement as JB headed the equalizer, truly memorable game, lost the replay, on my birthday too, after extra time if I remember.

A great effort from the lads,.. it was a grand day out for sure,... also did you notice a proper rendition of GOSBTS at the end,... not that frantic cobblers a lot of you lot attempt in more recent years,.....

GOSBTS needs to change for next season,... stop that shite pre-amble der der der der der,.... and stop speeding it up to speeds only seen or heard at a trance gig.

 

[Jim D]

I was there - in with the Liverpool fans. When we equalised I stood up and then realised where I was so just sat down after a few seconds. That should have been the winner though - how was Rush's second goal not offside?

 

[LABHA]

I was there,good weekend.

Mascot

My youngest was mascot that day (he's now 28!) and we were able to stand outside the changing rooms by the "This is Anfield" sign. We met Gillespie, Houghton and Billy Liddell before the match. What a great day for many reasons! Thanks for posting the clip.

 

[Jesus Gul]

I was in the Kemlyn Rd stand with a mate but we both got moved at half time and sat in those single aisle seats that were I guess for the stewards

 

[BlockDpete]

I was there too, great memories. Who went up on the Seagull Special charter train that was run for the day?

Best memory was a copper talking to me at half time about why so many of us were in Johnny Crumplin fooball genius t shirts, as he thought he was rather good. I think this was after Crumplins famous dummy on John Barnes.

 

[Oscar]

That was my first ever away game. What a day. Byrnes goal was a classic.

 

[Storer68]

I was there too. Bought a BHA scarf off a spiv outside the ground.

Crumps totally outplayed John Barnes in that game , probably JC's finest in an Albion shirt. Somewhere at home I've got the match video - we didn't put one out but its just the game footage

And then we went to watch Woking play at Everton on the Sunday.

happy days

 

[Brovion]

Huh. Don't know how you could enjoy that, it was only an FA Cup game at Anfield. We'd have been better off getting knocked out early and concentrating on the League.

 

[StanmoreSeagull]

What was the score in the replay at the Goldstone again? 3-2 defeat if I remember correctly....?

 

[Seagull over NZ]

What a great day out that was, great seeing the pictures from behind the goal as the two Brighton goals were just as I remembered them. Trying to remember the team from that footage, anyone help with the gaps (and the memory).

Digweed
Crumplin Chivers ?? Chapman ?
Walker Barham Wilkins ??
Byrne Small

Or did Johnny Byrne come on as a sub?

 

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

I was 16 and skint, so couldn't afford to go. Then, at lunchtime on the day of the game my Mum pipes up and asks why I didn't go, as she would have paid for me. A tad late to tell me that.

Went to the replay though and walked home to Portslade absolutely gutted, but very proud.

 

[portlock seagull]

I was there, great memories that day. Absolutely one of the best days out as an Albion fan ever.

 

[The Wookiee]

My favourite Brighton game ever

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

some people were still sitting in their seats when we equalised FFS!

 

[galebs]

Great day out went up on the Sussex express with a liverpool mate of mine . Couldnt work out as we went through Crew why there was a load of abuse and whatever else was being thrown at the train . Well not until i looked out the window towards the back of the train , only to see a chap hanging out the window with a flag singing GOSBTS at full wack . Also remember talking to one of the wpc's up there (a good looking one ) about the hilsbrough disater and how it had affected everyone .
Must get back in to going to away trips .
