Yes, I'm sure that many of us remember this as the game which sparked the emergence of the hate figure Scott McLeish (now at Northampton) in the epic 4-4 at The Goldstone in 1997.
But just remember also that Barry Hearn, who's still their chairman, asked for Brighton to have (further) points deducted following the mini-riot in the North, which cocky boy McLeish ignited. (the request was ignored, thankfully, by the League).
In July of that same year 17 of the 72 football league clubs voted to have us kicked out of the league for failure to register in time a £500,000 bail bond over our ability to find a suitable stadium to play at the following season.
The 17 remain a closely guarded secret, but it's a racing cert that Hearn's among them.
So I hope that as many of us as possible will be able to get down next Saturday and give the flash, wanabee, git and his bunch of up-starts from slumsville the warmest of Albion welcomes as, as evidenced by yesterday's outstanding performance, only we know how.
Come on Brighton.
