Question for any Albion Geeks

[Gully]

The roof over the North Stand might also help date the picture, think that might be the old roof, which I'm pretty sure wasn't there when I watched my first game in 1982...though the Lego stand definitely was as I was stood in front of it.

The Official Attendace was 28,604 Prizes 4 any one who can tell me who scored the other 2 Arsenal Goals ??

Frank Stapleton? Alan Sunderland?

 

[The Wookiee]

Can anybody list the players for that England game? Would be interesting to see which Italians made it to the full team

I'd say that was somewhen from the 1980/81 season pretty sure the lego stand wasn't up for the Arse game. BTW Beagrie was superb in that B game

 

[Stevie Boy]

i couldnt tell you much about the game but that was my first ever football game i went to, score was 1-1 Adams scored for us if i remember

 

[Soul Finger]

If indeed this is against Arsenal, and the attendance is 28 - 30K. How the hell did they manage to shoehorn in 36,500 against Fulham for the record attendance. Given that the "Lego" stand was not there. Christ knows how they managed that.

The South Stand was terracing in 58. There were people all around the edge of the pitch.

Probably a bit over capacity!

I went to college with the referees daughter! He lived in Burgess Hill I believe.

 

[LABHA]

The North Stand roof got taken down in the summer of 1980, so defo 1979-80 season.

Allan Gunn?

 

[Driver8]

Allan Gunn?

Yes. According to Barrel of Fun's post above it says "Referee - Gunn (England)" I went to college with his daughter Alison. I believe he was an Albion fan.

Just looked it up now. The John Vinicombe book for the season has scorers as Stapleton, Sunderland 2 and Brady (pen).

Barrel and scraping are two words that come to mind !

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Yep , that's the one. Cheers. I have always wondered where they source these pics from. Obviously some photographic Library, but i wouldn't mind getting a big old JPEG of that image.

It's your lucky day. Look what I've found:
. Brighton And Hove Albion, Peter Ward, Ex-players and managers, Media Storehouse

Pretty sure that Nigel Martyn, listed above as a Bristol Rovers player, joined Palace just before this game, and got some abuse, at least from me in the North Stand!!!
