[Football] Was there an England game at the Goldstone in the '90s?

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I was at the U/21 England v Norway game, standing on the West stand terrace. From what I remember, the attendance was 18,000+, we had just installed new floodlights, and there was a bloke next to me complaining that the crowd was too noisy!

I remember being shusshed in the North (geriatric) stand at Withdean on one occasion.

I was so surprised I had to do a double take to make sure I was watching the Albion and hadn't stumbled over the road into the bowls enclosure and fallen over some duffers watching in deck chairs, when I'd left the pub before KO.

It was like being at an orgy and being asked to 'put that frightful erection away'.

I’m surprised no one came up with “must I touch the beastly thing?”

I went to an England under 16 game in the early 90s. I think it was against Ireland, though not 100%.

I went to England Women v Iceland at the Goldstone in the 90s, cannot remember when though.

Yeah. Gazza played. Was quite entertaining.

And Scillaci

I went to England Women v Russia Women at the Goldstone in the early '90s. What I can remember about it is that the Russia no. 11 was Player of the Match. She had an outstanding game.

Not quite, we actually lost 0-2 to New Zealand.

Oops! I couldn't quite remember but didn't think Brighton won, so I checked. Sometime needs to change the WAB website then: 'On February 10th, 1992, Brighton played a friendly match against the New Zealand national team at The Goldstone; the game ended 2-0, to Brighton.'

 

[Van Cleef]

I remember Tony Adams being given the old donkey chant even though it was a England(B) game. Bit strange.
