Fred Binney, a header against Halifax, won 1-0, around 1974 ish, great noise, nearly dropped my Chipmunk crisps, anyone remember them? Massive bag of crisps, cant get them now.

Had to wait for my third game to see the Albion score, just checked Tim Carder's site, turns out it was Andy Ritchie versus Ipswich on 28 Aug 82 (my 17th Birthday) and we drew 1-1 in front of 13,641.

1971,a Kit Napier header against Shrewsbury . I think it was Kit's 100th league goal. I was 12 and sitting in the South Stand with my dad.

My first Brighton game was away to Ipswich in Jan '83, I think John Wark score one of Ipswich's goals we lost 2-0 :nono:

My first home game was a 2-1 defeat by Stoke a few weeks later haven't got a clue who scored it.

Edit: I do not it was Andy Ritchie in front of 14,937 fans at the Goldstone

I think this was the fellow, although late March seems way too late ... puzzling.

Somewhere over there...
Mine was

Division 3 - KO 03:00
Brighton 3 (1) - 2 (1) Hartlepool
Minton 33(p) Beech 45
Rod Thomas 62 Midgley 54
Minton 81

At Priestfield on 31-10-1998

So a Jeff Minton Penelty. Rod Thomas' goal was much better though!

Not sure if it was my first game or not, but one of the first I can remember was the League Cup match Vs Wycombe when they still had Regis playing for them (Think we lost 2-1).

Division 3 (h) v Crystal Palace

W 1-0 :clap2:

Yours truly was 2 months and 6 days old. I didn't actually see Ian Mellor's goal, being asleep at the time but those of you there woke me up very shortly after!

Guess the first I properly saw was in March 1985 when we beat Blackburn 3-1 with Young and Connor(2) getting the goals

Vs Palace in April 87 - Danny Wilson scored the first, Darren Hughes scored the 2nd in a glorious 2-0 win - Barry Lloyd's first win ever!
