Famous BHA Comebacks

[big nuts]

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.

I vaguely remember George 'sneaky' Parris scoring a goal at the North End that day.

 

[Wondergull]

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?

Wasn't it against Preston??

 

[dangull]

Didn't Brighton came back from 0-3 down away to Everton in the top flight in the early 80's ? it may have been 1-3 to have been a 3-3 draw at full time.

 

[kevo]

Didn't Brighton came back from 0-3 down away to Everton in the top flight in the early 80's ? it may have been 1-3 to have been a 3-3 draw at full time.

You might be thinking of the Coventry game (0-3 down, drew 3-3, Gordon Smith hat-trick. I remember it well!)

The Millwall game was 77-78 season I think.

The best ever comeback should have been against Sheffield United at Bramhall Lane in 1989. We were 3-0 down, came back to be 4-3 up.... but lost 5-4, thanks to a last minute pen!

 

[Jam The Man]

I vaguely remember George 'sneaky' Parris scoring a goal at the North End that day.

Thems were the days.. Hardly any crowd yet loads of atmosphere!

 

[Icy Gull]

Slightly ot but does anyone remember the last time we were 2-0 down after 5 mins? I don't

 

[hughesy]

My first ever Albion game!

 

[smillie's garden]

My first ever Albion game!

What today? You picked a good one, and don't be a stranger.

 

[Notters]

Hereford.

 

[Munkfish]

Colchester at the prestfield.

 

[chucky1973]

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...

2 diving headers if I remember right. What a final 10 mins that was. Stood on my little box in the west stand.

 

[Reinelt12]

Slightly ot but does anyone remember the last time we were 2-0 down after 5 mins? I don't

At home to Wigan at Withdean - I got in 6-7 mins late and we were already 0-2 - i think they got a third very soon after too... Ended 2-4

I remember that game, Wigan were different class.

 

[drew]

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.

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.

Don't remember him scoring 4 in the last 15 minutes and it was, as others have subsequently pointed out, 4-2. He was, if memory serves me correct, only on loan and didtn't really do anything of note after that, either with us or anywhere else!

 

[Frutos]

Wasn't it against Preston??

Definitely Burnley.

 

[Rabeen]

2-0 down and coming back to draw 2-2 at Anfield in the FA Cup in 1991 was my favourite game for many, many years. We had a penalty at Anfied, which I seem to remember was the first penalty awarded against Liverpool at Anfield for several seasons. A great day.

 

[Eeyore]

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.

I think it may have been 2-0. Fog of memory. I seem to remember Wade scored another one in a match shortly afterwards but faded thereafter.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Wasn't it against Preston??

You're thinking of the Preston away game where we were almost dead and buried 2-0 down at half time. Simon Rodger and Steve Sidwell scored for us in the second half to bring it to 2-2.
