5 matches you re-live and attend again...

[nicko31]

If there were 5 matches in history you could attend again what would they be? They don't have to Albion, could be another team or an International. For me...

1st - 1966 WC Final, England v Germany (still the pinnacle for me)
2nd - FA Cup 5th Round v Liverpool 1983 (probably our best ever FA Cup win)
3rd - FA Cup Final 1983 (1st match of course)
4th - Albion v Hereford 1997 (yes I'm a saddist)
5th - Albion v Palace 27.12.80 (3-2 Albion my first match)

No particular order but for love of a team and the sheer elation...
England 4-0 Holland, Euro96
England 5-1 Germany, Qualifying
Brighton 3-0 Palace (not all so long ago)

But for sheer SPECTACLE...
Liverpool (p)3-3 Milan
Man Utd 2-1 Bayern

I forgot 2-1 Donny. And the 4-3 v Carlisle. I don't think I've ever gone so mental in my life.

What a great question btw.

Glad you picked out the B'muff game too. Would not be obvious, you had to be there, the atmosphere of 30,600, the packed North Stand with both sets of supporters, it was electric!

First time i had ever witnessed football violence. Retaking of the north Stand at 2.45pm was great. Real rivalry that year and quite tasty at Dean Court, in the 1-1 draw.

Was at that game too. Driving back with a mate from an all night party in Bognor we passed all the Bournemouth coaches on the A27 on the way to the game. Never flicked some many "V" signs in my life! Great game. Great crowd. Great result. The day Bournemouth really did lose their cherry!

Was at both those games...one question....why was your Dad standing on a beer crate ? sorry.....one game really was a terrific game....the FA cup semi-final at Highbury v Sheff Weds....lovely weather,great result...was just behind the goal when Jimmy Case's shot nearly took the net out....happy day.
