Murray Might DW's late withdrawal of Murray' not have been motivated by the wish to ensure that Murray got a special round of (deserved) applause in his first game at Withdean? If so, it was a shrewd, rather than a pointless, move by DW.

"Going Forward". It means nothing.

Brian Dear played only seven league games for us -- but he did score five goals. As for worst players, I admit it: I was awful.

Albion 3 - 2 Southend

Bobby Smith scored twice in his debut match against Barrow on August 22nd, 1964. Jimmy Collins scored the other in a 3-1 win. Attendance was 20,058.

What is the solution to the midfield's lack of creativity and imagination?

I recognized old Ken Bennett on platform 4 at Brighton Station last week. He scored that lovely volleyed goal to defeat Reading 1-0 back in January 1952 -- but he's lost a bit of that once familiar athleticism.

Yes, indeed. My first game for the Albion was on May 20th, 1966 against Workington at home. It was one of the better games in the '65-'66 season: Brian Tawse, Wally Gould, and my old mate Bill Cassidy scored to give us a 3-1 victory over Workington (remember them?). A poor crowd, though: only...

Thanks to Charlie for his complete commitment to the club. None of us could have asked for more from any player.

Like most on NSC, I know a bit about football. But Mark McGhee has forgotten more about football in the last week than I will ever know. If he thinks McCammon will help the team, he's probably right. As to the more general point, it seems to me that MM has performed miracles at Withdean with...

Promotion from the old Third Division (south) in 1958 was good. A lively attack all season, and a 6-0 thrashing of Watford in the final home game. We'll draw a veil over the opening game in the following season...:nono:

Good luck!:clap:

I think you guys are being a bit severe on Johnny Goodchild: he scored 10 league goals in the 1961-62 season; 7 in 1962-63; 14 in 1963-1964; and 10 in the promotion year of 1964-1965. It's not a bad record -- and he was a decent guy who was always ready to sign autographs for the kids. I've...

The only Albion player I can remember in the last forty-five years who took corners better than Kit Napier was Johnny Goodchild -- he did twice score direct from the corner flag. Happy days. :drink:

Same score as in the 1977 match against the Blades: Albion 2-1 Sheff U. Peter Ward scored twice in front of 21,000 spectators. Knight and Currie to share the honours tomorrow. :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :albion: :goal:

Gills 1 - 2 Albion. Knight and Virgs to score:drink: :clap: :clap:

Barry Rees:clap: :ascarf:

A repeat of the score against Hartlepool back in (December?) 1964 --one of the first games that I saw-- would do nicely: 5-0. Bobby Smith scored twice. :clap2: :ascarf: :falmerspi :falmer:

McGhee is right to say what he said, but should have said it in private. :nono:
