Whats the best albion moment you have had ?

[defrocked priest]

My first match, it was there I became a fan/supporter of BHAFC.

 

[The Ringleader]

2-1 at Reading on a friday in 2003, first time I'd seen Brighton win away from home somehow.

Was that when Fit-soon Kitson came on for us to score?

 

[Vegita]

Don't remind me. I'm mad enough to hurt somebody and pounding you just might be the therapy I need.

Nothing!!! No other Albion goal ever (not even Reinelts) will ever compare with the way I celebrated Gordon Smiths goal at 3.13 on the 21st May 1983 the exhilaration of that moment will live with me forever!!

 

[Braders]

What colour shirt were they wearing that day ?

Green


probably the Virgo Swindon moment to be fair , but the gypo scum from shithursts faces were priceless a few years ago

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Best for me was beating Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup Semi-Final.

Likewise. A beautiful sunny day, 20,000 Albion fans in the old clock end at the iconic art deco Highbury, Jimmy Case's thunderbolt and then getting through to Wembley. It doesn't get much better than that.

Zamora's winner away to Peterborough. A terrace RAMMED with Albion fans, the fact Booby was meant to be not playing, the buzz that went round when we heard he was, the disappointment of his missed pen and then the uncontainable JOY when he notched a cracker.

I remember an old guy grabbing me and fighting back the tears he shouted 'Enjoy this son, it don't get any better' before the surge from the fans moved him about 50 foot to the right.

Just seemed like the frustrations at years of being rubbish and homeless all came flowing out that day.

Other than the obvious one’s already mentioned.

My moment of joy was The Gary Nelson goal away at Brentford in the FA Cup around 1987.
He beat most of their team and chipped the goalkeeper. It was one of those must get on the pitch moments.

Never seen a better goal scored in the flesh.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Oh, and for some reason Leon Knight's WINNER at Sheffield United. Great day, great goal, great PLAYER...

 

[sod1]

you're so influential .did you wipe their arses after they had a shite??

so whats your best Albion moment then Das ? would it be Fulham away in 1985 ?

 

[smalldino]

seeing Perry Digweed save a Chris kiwomya penalty and then Wendys freekick in 91 to get into the playoffs. The 4-1 hammering of millwall in the playoffs just a shame we lost in the final

may sound odd, but colchester away last season, took 6yr old son and my better half to first away game - biggest bonus being it was the start of our great escape

I can understand that. It is one of my favourites - including a photo of my son (then about 13) standing on our shoulders at the end of the game. He couldn't bear to watch the last 20 minutes it was so tense. It was the game I knew that "got" sport and was the Albions for life.

Was that the game where OGH broke his leg?

Croc rock

it's strange how people view events differently .
I'd put this down as one of my worst experiences .
Getting stuffed 4-0 at home , the arsenal boys taking over the north-west corner .
To me , that day was the dawning realisation that we'd come just about as far as we could .
Signaling the begining of the end of a truly fantastic era which started back in 1975 .

Best albion moment for me would be my 1st away match .
F.a cup , 1st rd against watford , nov '75 .
Massive travelling support , the club put on three special trains ( 1,000 fans on each one) .
But like thousands of others , me & 3 schoolmates made our own way there to watch the albion
tear 'em apart in an emphatic 3-0 win .

that was a good one fred binney! Elton driving up the side of the ground in his roller,ah memories
