[Albion] Old Result - Help Please

[sully]

Inside my garage when I bought my house, I inherited some graffiti showing a result against West Ham.

I’ve tried to find out when it occurred but can’t. I can only think it was either a Southern League game (I can’t find any results from that far back) or a fantasy that a former owner had.

Can anyone point me at a difinitive record of all our results which might include this one?

The Zimbabwe one is clearly fiction, so I’m inclined to the latter, or maybe a Subbuteo game.

If the scores are contemporaneous then it'll be after 1980 when Rhodesia changed its name to Zimbabwe.

Good point.

I may need to check out former owners. I hadn’t spotted the different sized letters, having mostly focussed on the West Ham result.

Thanks. That’s closing down the occupant who likely painted it to just two.

Going back to the original question, does seem odd someone painting a West Ham v Brighton result from 1903

I think it's utterly random. England have never drawn 2-2 with either Ireland teams, and it's certainly not rugby !

As mentioned, Zimbabwe has only been a thing since 1980. Albion have only lost 4-0 to West Ham eons ago.

I'd say it's just mumbo jumbo.
