[Albion] Beating Manchester City 4-1...

[drew]

Disappointing that the report fails to mention that we did, for the first time in our history (and hopefully not the last) the double over the reigning European champions (European Cup for those younger readers, not the current incarnation as the Champions League).

Did Gerry Ryan score a wondrous solo goal?

Yes he did...... I think.

He certainly did
It would be goal of the season if it was around in those days

That was after we beat them in the FA Cup in 1983.

Thanks, memory clearly shot

I'm as excited as a Palace fan at a Caravan convention,.

Presumably clutching your box of Swan Vestas to set fire to the nearest Coachman as soon as nobody is looking!

Brighton's highest finish was in 1981/82 when they ended the season in 13th place. During this season we also achieved our highest ever position in the Football League pyramid, when a 1-0 victory at Wolverhampton on the 22nd September 1981 took us up to fifth place.

We're in third place at the moment.
