[CHAPPERS]

A diving header I believe, also the only time I've EVER touched the matchball when it came into the crowd.

25/3/78 Sat. FL D2 (h) W 2-0 1-0 P.O'Sullivan, P.Clark 24,601

I was six and was playing with dust or rubbish or something in the chicken run and missed both goals. So my question is, does that count?

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

May 1967.

My dad (a Middlesbrough supporter) took me to my first match, a match which ended 1-1 and which saw Middlesbrough promoted from the old 3rd Division up to he second tier. It took more than twenty years until I went to another Albion match and became an albion supporter.

Brian Tawse scored for Brighton from a penalty.

after that got hooked for better or worse and a bit like marriage really.Lots of ups N downs and in the end you wonder Why!!!!!!

Don't remember who scored any goals but my first game was Jack Bertolini's testimonial. Stanley Matthews kicked off. Jimmy Greaves, Jimmy Hill, George Eastham all played. After that went to every game i could and have watched them regularly since 1964. Best goal Gerry Ryan against Man City. or Kit Napier against ?

10/3/76 Wed. FL D3 (h) D 2-2 0-2 S.Morgan, F.Binney 21,423

against Shrewsbury, read that crowd and weep!

 

[geoffreyp]

think my first game was 1962, but first real goalscoring memory was a Bobby Smith goal , i think in 64 against Barrow. after that i recall a few kit napier goals. one in particular when the keeper put the ball down thinking a free kick had been blown, game appeared to stop but Kit walked up and tapped into empty net. amy oldies out there recall the goal.also remember an alan duffry screamer against bradford city. best fortnigh to be a fan was definately in 66/67 ( i think that year.) ten goals in cup versus Wisbech then two weeks later nine past southend. we.ll be lucky to get 19 more goals this season i reckon!!!

 

[Heffle Gull]

March 1979 Vs Sheff Weds (2-0 win) Mark Lawrenson & Gerry Ryan

Now I feel old!!!

 

[Ding Dong !]

First game I saw was the 3-3 home draw against Liverpool in 1980 or 1981 I.

3-1 down and finished 3-3. Cannot remember who scored though !!

Was hooked after that.

 

[Clarke Quay]

December 11 1965 so I've nearly served a 40-year stretch!

Bill Cassidy's equaliser against Shrewsbury.

Sad that so many of you only have memories of The Troubles after 95....there were vintage years in the 70s when nobody could ever have believed that a Board of Directors would intend harm to their own club....rot in Hell Stanley and Archer!!

Also corralt...could the Kit Napier goal be the diving header v Bournemouth, Boxing Day 1971 by any chance?

 

[corrallt]

I think I was thinking about a goal he scored on his debut in a 5-2 win against (Peterborough?) I might be totally wrong.

Joe Kinnears Testimonial BHA v Spurs......as a kid, I thought I was a Spurs fan, went along to the Goldstone (RIP) to watch Spurs and fell in love with The Albion. Never looked back. Come on you Super Seagulls
