Born 2 miles from the Goldstone Ground on a day we lost 2-0 at home to Bury. Just discovered we got relegated from division 2 that season. Liverpool went up as champions.

I was born in Shoreham on the night England beat Portugal to get through to the World Cup final in 1966. My Dad watched it on the hospital TV.
I was still in hospital on the Saturday afternoon of the match.

Strangely-timed thread: I was born at the RSCH, twenty-four years ago to the day.

Born 6 miles from Goldstone. Game before Southend (H) 4:0 Followed by Exeter (A) 5:0 Newport (H) 8:1 and Norwich (H) 6:0. Happy days.
Seven Stars Hotel & English's Oyster Bar were thriving in Ship St, Wild Harvest was at the Astoria, King Alfred Swimming Pool was open for mixed bathing and parking for the football at Hove Greyhounds was 1/- (5p).
More importantly Bill Hayleys Rock Around The Clock was released on my day of birth.
And Albion were top of the league.
