[Albion] Earliest Albion FA Cup memory?

[GREASED WEASEL]

The Leatherhead Lip

Kelly his name was

They played in green

I was stood on the Chicken Run

 

[The Optimist]

Anfield 1991 (?) stands out as an early memory. Not sure if it’s my earliest or not.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Chelsea 1967 draw at the Goldstone.

 

[Eeyore]

Think I remember the Scarborough match. They were non-league at the time.

 

[big nuts]

I remember the Southampton 6th round match, but first one live was at home to Leeds in Jan 89.

We went one nil up through a Curbishley penalty in the 60th minute, but a very late Ian Baird goal gave Leeds a come from behind 2–1 victory.

The Liverpool game (both) two years later was amazing. I bunked the day off school to watch Liverpool train and got a photo with David Burrows!

 

[Poyningsgull]

Aldershot away 0-0 Jan 1967. Pissing down. Great day out.

 

[Seagull58]

Chelsea 1967 draw at the Goldstone.

Same here. It was on MOTD too. John Boyle was sent off. The commentator made a snarky comment about how bad the floodlights were.

 

[Eeyore]

Aldershot away 0-0 Jan 1967. Pissing down. Great day out.

Bit like the 6-2 win, 33 years later.

Scarboro at goldstone 1978 and a 3 nil win......my 1st ever game and 18000+ attendance as far as I know

 

[essbee1]

The Leatherhead disaster.

 

[maltaseagull]

Chelsea 1967 draw at the Goldstone.

Queueing for a reserve game so we could get tickets.

My mum said she heard the crowd in Westdene when we equalised.

Replay.
Couldn't find anywhere in Stanford Bridge to watch the game. We finished up on the roof of a shed but could only see between the two penalty areas.

Think I remember the Scarborough match. They were non-league at the time.

I went to that - 23,748 there. I dropped my coat on the East Terrace and sent coins tumbling down the terrace. Some honest folks in there that day, some less so!

My earliest memories were probably Hillingdon Borough, Leatherhead, Walton & Hersham and Chelsea from the 70s.

Final (replay)

 

[Bodian]

Losing at home to Wolves 1979. I think a photo of that game was on the cover of a programme which makes it stick in my mind a bit more.

 

[andys320]

Scarboro at goldstone 1978 and a 3 nil win......my 1st ever game and 18000+ attendance

This, my first ever game too!

 

[amexer]

Attending a reserve game with 15000 others to get a ticket for I think Chelsea cup game

 

[Bodian]

Final (replay)

Do you not remember the final as well though??

 

[Pevenseagull]

Do you not remember the final as well though??

I didn't go to the first one

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Losing 3-2 is 78/79 to Wolves - I remember Lawrenson's amazing goal

 

[AnotherArch]

Brighton 3 - Burnley 3. Little ol' Albion in Division 2 versus the current League Champions.
Whilst I saw that game, I can remember from the season before: Brighton 6 - Rotherham 0. Second replay at Highbury.
