[Albion] 6, 7, 8 . . .

[el punal]

Yay! Let’s be entertained. How many, and which, games have you seen where a team has scored six or more back of the net jobs - Albion related if poss?

I’ll start off with some of my specials :

Albion v Mansfield, January (I think) 1966, we won 6-4, it was 5-2 at halftime!

Albion v Bristol Rovers, 1973 - yes, that game, under Brian Clough, and lost 8-2, eight bloody two!!

Albion v Walsall, Oct/Nov 1976 - 0-0 at halftime then Wardie and Spider do their double act and we win 7-0.

Albion v Mansfield (again!) August 1999 - our first game at Withdean, and what a game to return home, 6-0.

Albion v Blackpool, April 2013 - we win 6-1 but score all the goals

One more memorable one, which I reckon very few can match, I watched Chelsea beat Jeunesse Esch (Luxembourg), in 1972, 13-0, in the Cup Winners Cup at Stamford Bridge. The aggregate score was 21-0!

Over to you, playmates!

The ones that spring to mind are:
Huddersfield 7 Brighton 1 August 2009
Chester 1 Brighton 7 February 2000

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

I vaguely remember Derby County beating Finn Harps 12-2

We beat Colchester & Chester 6-0 in the same season

 

[Seaber]

Brighton and Hove Albion 8 - 0 Northwich Victoria

 

[cjd]

Think it was 10-1 v Wisbech in the cup and 9-0 v Southend in the league two weeks later ?

Just so happened the Daily express were doing a 'special coverage' that day on the Albion. Several pages of the game and photos of the goals. Pure luck.. !

Aldershot 2 Brighton 6 in the FA Cup 2000, the 8 nil against Northwich, and the Brighton 6 Blackpool 1 match in 2012 are the only one I've been to I think.

 

[portlock seagull]

Thrashed Carlisle 6-1 at goldstone in circa 1985. Alan Biley got a peach of a curler in front of the north stand.

 

[Telboy]

13th November 1965 Albion 10 - 1 Wisbech
27th November 1965 Anion 9 - 1 Southend

Good shout that,night game?

Carlisle goal was the pick of the night

30 yards out maybe,he got a generous round of applause

 

[Baldseagull]

Liverpool 9 - Palace 0.

 

[Telboy]

We then lost to the mighty Bedford Town in the second round after a replay

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Ipswich 6 Man Utd 0

And I think Ipswich missed 3 penalties

No, was a sunny Saturday afternoon

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Charlton 7-0 October 1983. Remember listening on Radio Sussex when they kept breaking away from music.
Liverpool 1-6 then we scored most of the goals.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Also was at Forest Green Rovers 1 Macclesfield 1 (Macclesfield win 11-10 on penalties)

Think it was the FA Cup record for number of penalties in a shootout - 24

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

No, was a sunny Saturday afternoon

I must be thinking of the 4-1 the season before

 

[Frankie]

6-1 v Blackpool at the Amex and I seem to remember we scored their goal as well

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Never

Almost went to Chester, and was a couple of hours late getting to Brighton for the 6-2 over Torquay at the start of the 2000-01 promotion season. But I did get to bump into one of our new signings in the pub garden near Withdean after that game.

Conversation went something like 'what was the score today mate?' '6-2, and he scored twice' , pointing at a shy Nathan Jones sitting in the corner. Took me a couple of seconds to recall his face from the Argus, have him a hearty 'well done and welcome to the Albion'

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

13th November 1965 Albion 10 - 1 Wisbech
27th November 1965 Anion 9 - 1 Southend

but can you remember the game in between?

 

[Perfidious Albion]

Maybe the best is yet to come ??
