[Albion] This is what we want against Eurofuddled Villa on Sunday

[jimhigham]

Mere months before my arrival on Planet Earth. Those were the days. Probably.

 

[Van Cleef]

"Villans Eurotrashed" would have been a good headline for today's papers. Just thought of it. Am I too late?

 

[Flounce]

PLEASE can we at least give them a game and not be on the end of another stuffing

 

[World of Sport]

I was there, at the back of the north.
As soon as it went the crowd surged forward, christ knows how there were no casualties!

This was the top match on MOTD. A division 3 encounter. Unbelievable. Let's channel this for Sunday.



I was there. Anyone else? Geriatrics roll call!

First game I ever went to that was on MOTD the same night. Think Kit Napier scored our other goal, diving header? Remember Bruce Rioch's equaliser really well. Andy Lochead was a handful.

 

[Boroseagull]

Yes Harry, I was there for that memorable day, stood in the northwest corner.

 

[Ghost of Killer Reeves]

Chicken run for me and my dad surrounded by Black Sabbath’s road crew.
Fairies wear boots.

The kids of today.... cah!

Pretty sure Andy Lochead scored their goal. Fantastic goal as well, my memory of the goal is how the ball didn't go higher than about 2 inches above the ground, was about 25 yards out and the ball wrapped itself around the net and stantion.
Was my first ever game as well, south end of the chicken run. Dad got tickets for me. I remember the tickets sat behind the clock on the mantlepiece for at least a week beforehand. I was so excited, even more so seeing as he had no time for football.

Yes. Goal of the month.

 

[Flounce]

I wasn’t aware that Brighton had a League club when this game was played, three years before I arrived in Brighton! Long distance armchair glory hunting Division one fan who’d never been to a live game. Most info I got came from the Sunday papers and lower league clubs got very little coverage from memory

Of course I was there

 

[Perfidious Albion]

You bet I was there! …… tucked myself in my favourite spot ben the West Stand as near to the tunnel as possible. Back then Aston Villa seemed like a visit from a really big club , even though we were in the same division.
Let’s do it again this week ….

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

I so want to give them a game @Flounce.
I want to remember what it's like.

I missed the match by about a year.

I was there as well, East Terrace. 2-1 win, if my memory still serves me. Promoted along with Villa a few months later.

Indeed. My mate and I had the misfortune to go on the supporters club coach for the away fixture at Bradford City. We lost 2-1 and it was our last defeat of the season - we then went unbeaten for the remaining 12 games. In doing so we ended up with 65 points, 27 wins and 11 draws. The less said about the following season the better!
