40 years ago

[Freddie Goodwin.]

It followed our embarrassing exit to Walton the year before. We were just beginning to get a side together and I think people (Certainly was) were hoping to banish that Walton game by thrashing this bunch, hence 20k turned up, bigger than average.

Albion were woeful.

No.

Only thing I remember about 76 is a boiling hot summer, and being threatened with bath sharing

[Napier]

Yes, I was there and can still visualise Chris Kelly scoring. Heartbroken I was.

The cup still mattered back then. In fact I remember back in 83 being gutted that Newcastle had gotten a draw at the Goldstone. I was convinced we were going to be beaten up there.

losing at home to Soton in 85 or 86 in the 6th round bloody hurt too,was convinced we were gonna win that day

two 6th round matches both at home in the space of 2 or 3 seasons,those were the days

 

[Dave the OAP]

Yep.

 

[Brighton Mod]

I was there, Chris Kelly scored for them at the south stand, they played in green and Kelly I believe signed for Millwall. Now I've written this the dates don't seem to add up, maybe i'm wrong?
