can you remember your first Albion game?

[daveybgtt]

i can't remember last week

Exactly, how are people remembering? I'm only 32 and I presume my step-dad took me sometime late 80's early 90's, Don't even remember what games/sores were late 90's to be honest? Statto's! One memory I do have is of being accosted with step dad by someone trying to arrange a boycott oif the game, wasn't gonna wash with step dad as he was an ex (reserve) player! Said something about paying the players wages.

Brighton v Burnley 1979 (don't remember what month) 2-1 win Horton and Lawrenson scored. Went with some school friends from Crawley as a 15 year old and started my life-long love affair with the Albion

First two games, 1969 Tranmere and Shrewsbury. 1-0 and 2-0 but don't remember which way round....could have been '68....no, '69...I think

This has been done to death.

Cool comment!


Mine was in 1994, at home, lost 1-0 to Birmingham. Nogan missed a 1 on 1 with the keeper and didn't score again for us I think. We were about 6th at the time and fancied by some. It took another 11 matches for me to see my first win. Loved it.

Dec 16th 1967, a 0-0 draw against a very good Swindon side who would go on to promotion and a LC win in the next couple of years.

Was Peter Downsborough in goal? Future Albion keeper, of course. Well, on loan.
