Do any of the more mature Brighton fans remember this player?

Great goal which I watched from near the north-west floodlight.

We've got Willie Willie Willie Willie Irvine
In our team. In our team.

Pat Saward gave Halifax £17,000 plus Willie Irvine in order to capture... Lammie Robertson. Oh dear.

Willie Irvine was better than Bobby Smith I up amongst the best Albion strikers ever.

He scored that goal 8 months before I saw my first game at the Goldstone.

If nothing else, that shirt is beautiful.

No need to complicate matters - straightforward blue and white stripes, and round neck - with no clutter. Perfect.

Alex Dawson.

Who is the only player to score a hat-trick in an FAC semi-final.

First game I actually recall, was taken earlier but no recollection but this was a monster game, crowd & on telly & memorably some bloke headed the ball back on the pitch from halfway up the chicken run

He played in an excellent team in a brilliant promotion season, and though this goal was NOT goal of the season ( a long range hoof for Hereford v Newcastle won that) it was rated in the top 3 ,I think. Certainly remains the best goal I've seen the Albion score.
