On this day 104 years ago........................... ..

I would love to see a flag or banner with that image on it up inside the stadium. Don't know if it is possible to do.

This.Surely this guy is the ultimate Brighton legend: player, manager and, I believe, secretary. Wasn't he at the club for more than 30 years or something?

If there is someone on here who know how to organise that, could we not all chip in to get it done? I would donate to that.

No wonder they won, they had 12 players

This month 100 years ago, a victory over Palace.... (From a thread I posted a while back)

And no goalkeeper!

Charlie Webb was actually associated with the club for almost 40 years, from 1908 to 1947.

Before WWI he played 275 games over seven seasons as an inside forward, scoring 79 goals, including the Charity Shield winner. Selected for Ireland, he was also the first Albion player to win full international caps.

After getting captured by the Germans during the war and spending eight months in a PoW camp, he returned to manage the club for 28 years (!) - making him by far the club's longest serving manager. In total, he was in charge for 1,215 matches, earning him the nickname of 'Mr Albion'.

Neither - I wish I did have it!

The scan is provided by Peter Irvine, the REAL guru of Albion programmes, who does have a copy.

How much would this be worth Ian?

I bought the programme and flyer for Charlie Webbs testimonial last weekend

Difficult to say. An Albion v a Southampton programme from 1906 went for £1200 a couple of months ago. Because of the importance to the club of the Charity Shield, I reckon it would be well over £2000.

This is the team that actually won it:

Anybody understand how points were awarded back then?

Home - W18 D2 L1 = 28 points
Away - W5 D11 L5 = 31 points.

Huh?

Someone obviously wasn't very good at maths! Two points for a win, so should be 38 at home and 21 away.

Nicely done! Yep, that must be it

Thanks. Likely to be the most valuable BHA prog in (known) existence?

And no goalkeeper!

They did though - Pom Pom Whiting at the top. He was mentioned on here recently as being one of the Albion players killed in the war.

And to pick up on a theme earlier, I'd be happy to contribute to a Charlie Webb banner. He of all ex-players deserves to recognised

Bet most of the JCLs on here weren't even at the game...
