Famous BHA Comebacks

[wallyback]

I think in 71/72 season we were home 0-1 to Torquay with about 5 mins to go. We won 3-1. Think Bernie Lutton and Kenny Beamish and Bert Murray (Pen) scored.

Oh and it was in the snow

Against Leicester at Withdean

Didn't that result lead to a thread now residing in the NSC gold section? )

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

It was the first game I had attended with my mates (and not my dad). November 1966 versus Bristol Rovers. We were two down like today and ended up winning 3-2 with goals from Norman Gall and Dave Turner (2).

Perhaps more to the point, I was totally hooked and became a lifer! I expect that a few fans will have the same experience as a result of today's fightback....

Wow yes the game v Bristol Rovers was my first game too and got me hooked. Fantastic times now though. How so much has changed !!!

 

[the wanderbus]

I was trying to think when was the last time we came back from two down to win and I thought of the Millwall match too - we must have done it more recently than that

August 1977, the game that got me hooked after 18 months or so of casual support

My first ever game! Great comeback, with accompaniment of punch-ups and pissing rain.

FTroop, Treatment and Half way line mob all in attendance for the Wall.

Seem to remember two very late goals (one/both from Steve Sidwell?) to nick a 3-3 draw against Burnley at Withdean. I think it was around the Christmas period, possibly even Boxing Day?

2-2 wasn't it? Both from Sidwell

That's how I remember it, both goals must have been no more than 2/3 minutes apart. Remember it due to a guy in the away end who was in Fancy Dress happily bouncing around at 2-0, standing, arms crossed at 2-1 and slumped in his seat at 2-2.

Pre-Post Edit: 2-2. 88th and 89th minute. Crikey this current Albion team would put 5/6 past that line-up.

Yea was just gonna say the same! GOLD!!

 

[maglers]

What about the game against Liverpool in the early 80s? 2-0 down and 3-1 down to draw 3-3. That was a Liverpool team that included Dalglish, Hansen, McDermott, Lee, Kennedy R, Kennedy A, Grobbelaar, Souness, Neale...

 

[Steve Foster]

Newcastle at home, losing 1-0, 15 minutes to go. Won 4-1 Brian Wade came on as sub and scored all 4.. and then of course we hardly ever picked him again. Typical Brighton.

And Pompey at home 1-0 down, equalised latte on and an injury time winner.. Khul loses his Cool

But the greatest of all time. Hereford away. The rest is history.

Remember that game well in the North Stand!

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Was a wonderful afternoon. The work rate of both Kayal and Stephens was immense, and the team spirit overall amazing along with some great skills shown. For me, difficult to beat as an Amex day.

3-1 down to bournmouth at thre goldstone and chappers belted in the equalizer from outside the box top corner 3-3

Yes that one I often think about that one when a game ends 3 2.it never goes away.

 

[Megazone]

Leicester 3-2. Leicester were top of the league whilst we were doing terribly at the bottom end.

I remember a really smug fan leaving the game at half time too....

Thanks both.

I had a feeling I'd got it slightly wrong somewhere.

Not that well it was 4-2 not 4-1!

I thought that was 4-2 ? I remember us being dreadful that night. Until Mr Wade made his cameo.

Were we 2-0 down until Wade came on? Incredible evening game down at the Goldstone at a time when the club wasnt in a great place. How on earth Wade didnt get a chance after that is also typical Brighton.

 

[Jam The Man]

Weren't we 2-0 down quickly at home to Chester at the Goldstone and came back to win? Johnny Byrne and/or Steve Foster may have been playing, or indeed I may be dreaming.

Yes that happened!

 

[Jam The Man]

Yes first home game of the season in our last at the Goldstone.

I think it was Jason Peake's home debut.

Not quite, the 3-2 was the last home game of 92/93

You are right though in that we did beat them 2-1 in the first home game of the season you referred to.
