April 18th, Reasons to be cheerful, part 1

[Freddie Goodwin.]

With apologise to Lord B but, in 1951

BRIGHTON 9 (NINE) NEWPORT COUNTY 1

Now, you may think Albion must have been really good and county were really bad but, at the end of the game, Albion were 13th & County were above them in 12th. This is still joint biggest hleague win.

So, who, you may ask, were bottom of the league....


Crystal Palace!

...........and only 2-0 at half time.Bennett 2,McNichol 4,Keene,and Tennant and Mansell got a pen each.


I believe Mr McNichol became D.Knights hero on this day.

Distressingly,in the same season we lost 7-0 at Reading.On Remembrance Day.

And extra distressingly we lost 6-0 at home to Plymouth Arghhh.....the following weekend.

13th looked an impossible dream!
