[Albion] Big Match Revisited

[Is it PotG?]

Didn’t Paul Clark nearly s ore at the end?

Yep, hit a great 20 yarder, Daines palmed it away.

Lawro playing a blinder v Spuds away from 1977, lovely all blue away shirt.

Decent nil each in the wind, Mullers' was happy.

Ah, those horrible imittion Chelsea shirts. Horrible thing it was to lose our identity as soon as we got into the 1st. division, trying to look like Chelsea instead.

This was Division 2, pre-promotion, and hardly Chelsea.

Was that the one where there was a lot of trouble? Remember being at WHL around 77 as a kid and it kicking off big time. Me and 3 or 4 other kids were getting crushed at the front of the Brighton end and got taken out by police and put in the next pen. My older brother then got hold of a copper and asked where we were taken to be told “they’ve probably been nicked”

‘77 was Div. 2 .. stripes then but all blue shirt in this game (maybe with red socks?) but agree the Div 1 B-Cal shout I hated !

Yup, red socks and white shorts.

This is a very watchable game with some great names from the past and a bit of boxing thrown in as well

Not worth a new thread so I’ve put it on here.

The pinnacle of football violence. Fighting before in and around the pubs, fighting in the Brighton end and on the shelf, and finally scraps all the way down the Steve Sisters Road back to the tube. Mayhem.

Watching The Big Match Revisited, I noticed the little blue 3 wheel invalid cars that were parked next to the pitch. Brilliant, could you imagine it now.

There was a bloke near to where I lived who had one of those - souped up and it could do 70 m.p.h. Eat your heart out, Top Gear!

Brighton v Liverpool from Oct 1981 on today, good game this.
