Here's a blast from the past... our first top flight game at The Dell.

February 9 1980, to be exact. Were any of you NSC'ers there?

As ever, I am always on the hunt for Albion video footage from the 1970s and 1980s, so if anyone has anything they'd like to share, please PM me!

Do you think that David Bobin wakes up every morning and pinches himself?

This game was over thirty years ago and he has managed to make made a living as a TV presenter ever since. Unbelieveable.

(BTW thanks for posting, despite the result)

What a crap day... to round it off I broke up with my girlfriend that night in a pub in Southsea.

Cheers for putting that on. Why couldnt you have defended that badly 11 days ago.

Three Albion players jumping for the same ball and getting in each other's way for the first goal. Then two doing the same for the second. Whoops.

I thought that it couldn't possibly be THAT game, why would you put that on?

I think some of our current defenders would be horrified to see defending like that, and these were are 'good' players too.

As Gus would say, "A bad day at the office".

Yes, I was there..awful game, awful view from the away "pen" with that fence in the way. Oh well, at least this season was better!

If you think that's bad, I have other 'vintage' games with humiliating results for the Albion that I yet to inflict on NSC!
