I wasn’t there that night.
But I’m still having nightmares about the shorts we wore that season!

Northstand. Davy Clarkson 67th (ish) minute?
A great night.
A great night.
In with the away fans in the East. Not 100% sure why we ended up in there, but when we equalised, it was clear there were more than a few other Brighton fans in there with us. There was half-hearted talk of repercussions from one young lad, but nothing came of it.

half way line ish - East Stand
North Stand. When he came on I turned to my mate and said: "That's David Beckham. He's going to be one of England's great players, he'll marry a pop star and become one half of a style brand. He'll take a great free kick though."
(Some of you may question the veracity of that statement, so I'll admit it's not all true - I was actually on the East Terrace!)

Cobblers!
I was on the East Terrace and I didn't hear anyone say that (and I had very good hearing back in the day).

I was there in the North Stand as ever, left of the goal halfway up.
We always stood right in front of a barrier, so we knew we would never be bundled from behind but could instigate a goal-scoring bundle going down the terrace!! Happy days

North StandDavid Beckham made his Manchester United debut as a second half substitute against the Albion in the League Cup at The Goldstone.
Where in the ground did you watch it from?
I was sat in the West️

North-west terrace. Some years later I was sorting through my old programmes and came across the one for this game. I had handwritten his name as a substitute …….. and I never used to do that! Weird.

I was in the south west, my usual place.
I was given 4 tickets by a mate, he got them as some kind of deal, probably not exactly kosher, knowing him.
Anyway, I went with2 United supporting mates and sold the spare to a tout for £5 more than face value.
I think it was about a fiver a ticket, so 10 quid profit.
