Have you ever witnessed history?

[Brightonfan1983]

I ask, as I have a brother who is not interested in football AT ALL, was at Wembley when San Marino scored what was then the quickest goal in international football ever. It means NOTHING to him.

My first Brighton game was Peter Ward's last league game for us but I don't think I have a tale to really dine out on (apart from the last match at The Goldstone and Hereford, which count!)

Who has?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Last game at the Goldstone

 

[Lord Large]

England were AWAY to San Marin when they won 7v1 and San Marino scored first...

I witnessed Fred Binney scoring several goals. Surely the slowest striker in football, ever (but still, brilliant)


Most goals scored in a second half by the Albion perhaps, beating WALSALL 7-0 after an extremely dull and scoreless first half. (hope history repeats this Saturday).

Worst World Cup Final, Brazil v Italy decided on pens after a boring goal-less match

 

[Lord Large]

...and it was also at the time the lowest attendance at and England game in the 20th Century I believe.

Bugger, you're right. He wasn't there then. Oh well!

I was on a boat close to where they originally tried to raise the Mary Rose and the whole thing went awry and they had to stop but I did get to see an unrecognisable few bits of wood as they broke surface after 500 odds years on the seabed which was quite interesting and a bit of history I guess.

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think a fair few of is will have been at the 5 penalties game at Palace, including myself. Played in the junior seagulls game beforehand too.

The nearest I get, I think, is being down the road when a bloke wanders into MacDonalds and shot about 40 people, in Kilene (sp) Texas.

The one big day I did miss was the Millenium stadium but that was due to my new born daughter coming out of hospital and that would always take precedence, afterall, I'm not a bloody geordie and Football isn't my religion.

Edit - I didn't mention Kelvin Morton at Palace because we lost and it was crap but I was there.

he must have been very lonely and it must have been a bit quiet as the game was being played in San Marino

 

[Gully]

In footballing terms, other than the odd Albion game (5 penalties at Palace), my best was being in the away end at Chelsea when Dalglish scored on the last day of the season to seal the league title for Liverpool. (I think it must have been the 85/86 season).

 

[Jam The Man]

I was at Wembley when Lineker FLUFFED the pen that would have equaled Charlton's 49 for England

 

[Easy 10]

I was on the grassy knoll.

 

[gjh1971]

Saw David Beckham make his first team debut

 

[Safeway]

Bugger, you're right. He wasn't there then. Oh well!

:thud:

(Un)interestingly though, I WAS at the home game against San Marino, which we won 6-0.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Was there when Dancing Brave won the Arc in 1986.

Best horse never to win the Derby

 

[Jello]

Palarse 5 pen game
Beckham's debut
I was part of the world record Macarena dance before the 1st ever Singapore league cup final I hope it's been beaten
