BHAFC in a Chuck Norris film from 1982.

[Taybha]

Great find! Haha.

So apart from this and that Simpsons episode, are there any other sports-themed appearances by our city / county in the world of fiction?!

the club is represented on the wall of the prison guards head screw in the film Mean machine the shit 1 with vinny jones

 

[Fungus]

Think it's us v Forest away 1981..2-1 to Forest, Gordon Smith scored for us first

Sorry if mentioned elsewhere, but if that was our only goal, why does he say "again"?

Possibly, You're expecting too much if you think Hollywood is bothered about factual accuracy. The full football sequence is after two minutes of this:

Chuck Norris FEARS Brighton. Fact.

I'm not familiar with this film and for a minute there I actually thought you were referring to some plate he had had inserted into his skull during surgery!

Have I missed something? Which Simpson's episode?

 

[Captain Haddock]

Our half-time score gets read out in Threads, the film about a nuclear bomb dropping on Sheffield.

Excellent! I love all this stuff (cheers for the reply).

Ah! Can't remember but the great and the good of NSC will have the details! (It's from a few years ago.)

Oh yes...forgot that (someone told me a few years ago).

 

[Cars]

I think we should try getting that segment of the film played at the Amex on the big screens.....

 

[JetsetJimbo]

That is an absolutely legendary find!

Bit of tidying up left to do. Change the black to white?

That's not Chuck Norris , that's Mark Lawrenson !!

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

That's not Chuck Norris , that's Mark Lawrenson !!

Yep You can imagine him delivering that line in his dour manner "Oh no, Brighton's gonna score again"

As I mentioned on another thread two prominent bits of BHA grafitti - 'ALBION' and 'THE GULLS' are sprayed on the pier in this film 'supposedly' set in Brighton, but filmed in Bournemouth I believe:

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

better version

This is superb!

Yes, or to be more precise Sussex Football Club (or some such deliberate derivation). We were the best team in all of England but our fans tended to go on the rampage in mass brawls if memory serves.

Unfortunately I don't know the episode / series number but it's a bit of a classic! There was a thread about it on here a few years ago

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Oh yes...forgot that (someone told me a few years ago).

Its because, the Prison Gaurd was Albion Fan Ralph Brown, also wears the sandtex shirt in Up and Under
