Boxing day 1978

[Kent Seagull]

Albion 5 Cardiff 0. Teddy Maybank hatrick. Anyone else remember it?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Yes, Poskett had scored a hatrick in the previous game at Charlton.

 

[fire&skill]

Yes. Was there with my auntie Pauline. Did lawrenson score a free kick screamer?

 

[drew]

Remember the score and know I was there but don't remember much about the game. Was also at the Charlton game courtesy of BR who had supplied tickets due to their failure to deliver me to the City Ground in Nottingham the previous month.

 

[catfish]

I was in the south stand that day and I remember Teddy scoring with a fantastic diving header. Think Nobby scored a penalty as well.

Me too !

It must've been Williams that scored the free kick; just got a vivid memory of a screamer. Or I'm going mad.

 

[SurreySeagulls]

This was my first ever game. My dad took me after I badgered him all Christmas day to take me.

 

[sams dad]

Boxing Day 1979 was even better.
Brighton 3 - 0 Palace
Peter Ward tied Jim Cannon in knots that day.

 

[cheeseroll]

Was it not 5-1? and one of our goals was an own goal...dont remember anything else..

 

[Ecosse Exile]

I remember a 4-0 V Cardiff and Peter O'Sullivan scored a belter, i was shocked that he hadn't passed it sideways

 

[public school boy]

I was behind the goal in front of the south stand If I remember correctly the balls Teddy as opposed to him putting them in the net. That game saved his Brighton career.

I reckon that was against preston in the same season, mick baxter scored 2 og's that day

 

[GT49er]

I was there!

 

[Barrow Boy]

Correct psb, I was in the East Terrace and I think the crosses for each of his goals came from Lawrenson, all dopey Maybank had to do was stand there and let the ball hit his head.

 

[Paskman]

I remember that game - I missed the first goal (1st minute?), probably due to over indulgence the day before!!!

 

[Grassman]

Stood on the East terrace with my dad, mum, sister and an auntie and uncle I think - though details are a bit sketchy as I was 9 at the time. Got home and my brothers mate had broken the new trainset I'd got for christmas. Still, the Albion won.....

 

[HenryC]

Yes. He couldn't hit a barn door before that game. Not the most popular forward! I was in the NS and seem to remember most of the goals that day went in at the south end?

I was there on train number three. Sat for ages at Willesden and Neasden. Eventually got as far as Kettering before they gave up and brought us home again. I remember bins full of sandwiches being provided at East Croydon as they feared a riot but we were too tired and disappointed.
