Who was there??

[The Keeper]

At Brentford, when Gary Nelson scored one of the best ever goals for Brighton, small pitch invasion too! sadly no tv coverage. Great day!

 

[The Large One]

Moi.

 

[rusty redeyes]

Moi, on the pitch

 

[Gazwag]

 

[siclean]

didnt nelson go to charlton from us ?

 

[Juan Albion]

Me. And he followed that goal up with an even better strike at Notts County soon after.

 

[The Keeper]

Rusty, Also remember C D on the pitch, running in and out the way of stewards and old bill, then just making it back into the Brighton end before he got nabbed

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

The very first football match I saw was Brighton v Brentford approx 1976/7 in a minor cup game. We didn´t bloody beat them then either. Yes was at the game when Garry Nelson Scored. Brought up in Shepherds Bush so always easy to get to Brentford when we played there but not always rewarding!

I was there a great day out and one of the best goals if not the best that Nelson scored for us.

 

[Northstander]

Nelson, what a player!

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

Yes - one of the best goals ever seen!

 

[Gully]

Me too, but I was in the main stand watching the game with my uncle who is a Brentford fan...(if we hadn't moved to Sussex when I was the tender age of 5 I suspect that I might have become a Bee rather than a Seagull)

T'was my first ever away game!

 

[mona]

I was there. Magnificent individual goal ! For all Lloyd's faults, he signed an Albion legend in Garry Nelson and that season provided many happy memories.

 

[Captain Haddock]

Probably the best goal I've ever seen live! A great day out with me mates, a 1-2 win and a wonder goal.

Pure bliss.

Good God.....is that really you posting on here, Shorty?!

 

[Taybha]

i made it just past the half way line expecting the hoards of pringles to be behind me..,then looked behind me.
Ah well at least somebody in the blue and white stripes other than gary has ventured into thier half over the years.

 

[Horney]

Probably the best goal I've ever seen live! A great day out with me mates, a 1-2 win and a wonder goal.

Pure bliss.

Sorry to be pedantic but we won 2-0...1st rnd FAC...14/11/87
It was a brilliant goal and I would love to see it again. It gets better as the years go by...can't remember how many players he beat but I would guess it was at least 4.
Nelson just caught fire that season and 32 goals for a winger was sensational.

 

[Horney]

I've also just remembered Garry's goal at home v Bristol City, later that same season, when he came steaming in from the wing and unleashed a screaming 25yarder into the top corner.

 

[Trigger]

I was present!
