THIRTY-ONE years ago today

[Hiney]

Was it really that long ago?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Jesus. I still think this was the best day I have ever had as an Albion supporter. The feeling I had at the end of the game (as I held a balloon which was vibrating due to the Albion supports loud and continuous singing) has never been replicated.

 

[El Sid]

How times have changed - the seagull went to the right back then.

When did it start going left?

 

[Puppet Master]

Sheffield Wednesday

 

[Elvis]

Christ! that makes me feel old, probably the day out as an Albion fan. Think I'll go and have my mid morning nap now.

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

And it's Case, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jimmy Case with an absolute belterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Great day out, great sight of the ball heading in my direction at the Clock End......oh Jimmy, Jimmy.....Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Case

 

[Beach Hut]

The greatest BHAFC day in my life, it was amazing.

 

[MarioOrlandi]

After Robbo scored it seemed like the longest 12 minutes of my life . . . . . Until Hereford

 

[Paskman]

The feeling at the end when I knew we were going to the Cup Final, in the days when the Cup Final was The football event of the year bar none!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Sheffield Wednesday even in those days they thought they were a MASSIVE club

 

[Giraffe]

I was only 12, and thought this was how supporting Brighton would always be. never forget the noise and mass of yellow just when the players came out to warm up.

On the friday I didn't have a ticket and wasn't going, but a friend's daughter got chicken pox so off I went. Amazing day. On a par with Hereford away, but that was a day of relief more than absolute joy.

 

[nipponseagull]

Absolutley the greatest BHA day of my life too !! 31 years ago ?!! Wow !!!

 

[Albion_Dave]

The crowd surge after Jimmy Case scored was immense.

 

[BLOCK F]

Jesus. I still think this was the best day I have ever had as an Albion supporter. The feeling I had at the end of the game (as I held a balloon which was vibrating due to the Albion supports loud and continuous singing) has never been replicated.

Same here, although getting promotion to old Div 1 at Newcastle in '79 wasn't bad!!

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

Great memories. Jimmy Case's shot would have taken my head-off if the back of the net hadn't got in the way.

Second greatest Albion day of all time for me, the Liverpool away win in the fifth round being number one.

 

[Since1982]

Clock end. Sunshine. Constant singing. Graham Moseley wonder save. Jimmy Case belter. Robinson turning so slowly to bang in the winner. Jimmy Melia dancing on the pitch at the end. I recently found my semi, final and replay programmes and tickets and have framed them for my study. Great memories.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

My abiding memory - being directly behind the goal when Case scored, as he ran up to hit it, someone in front of me said "it's in!"

 

[Gazwag]

Great day out, great sight of the ball heading in my direction at the Clock End......oh Jimmy, Jimmy.....Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Case

I couldn't see the goal I could only see just above the crossbar which was the same and everybody else up towards the back, there was a slight ripple effect in the crowd when it hit the back of the net

 

[somerset]

The pre match beers at Victoria....... steaming hot day,.... big post match hangover headache......back to Brighton,... great sing song in the William Tell...... happy days.
