TOny Grealish tapped the ball to JC who fizzed in it to the top corner from 30 yards. We were all standing behind that end and could see the ball arcing into the net, truly marvelous goal
thanks for that memory, Tooting...! that was truly a fantastic day out...!!Tooting Gull said:All of the obvious ones - but one I remember with particular fondness for some bizarre reason was a late Steve Jacobs equaliser (making it 2-2) away at Peterborough in the FA Cup in early 1986.
It was one of my first away games, full house at London Road, 4,000 packed into that away end, we played in red, it was a snowbound pitch and an orange ball.
The goal was at our end and the whole stand went absolutely mental. Superb.
cheshunt seagull said:Nelson's goal against Brentford was the best but one that really sticks in my mind was Irvine's against Villa. I was 13, we had recently moved to Hove, the build up was intense, the MOTD cameras were there, the Goldstone was full, by kickoff I was almost throwing up with excitement, and Willie blasted in a gem in the opening minutes..a lifetime obsession really began at that moment.
Remember it well. I thought it was 6,000 though? I've never been so scared at a football match as I was in that end though when we scored both times. I could hardly breath.erkan said:thanks for that memory, Tooting...! that was truly a fantastic day out...!!
my own memories of it are naturally fairly hazy but i can clearly recall the away end being dangerously full (to a teenage boy, wonderfully dangerous...literally being lifted off ones feet by the surging crowd...) - we were packed in there like the proverbial pilchards and that late equaliser caused pure chaos... had forgotten it was Steve Jacobs who netted - no Albion legend, but he certainly made 4,000 of us very happy that day!!
yes Simster, i think you're right and it was more like 6,000 Albion there that day - i didn't want to trust my shaky memory...Simster said:Remember it well. I thought it was 6,000 though?
