I just love random programmes from 1967 to About 1984 popping up in my cupboards… going back in the loft again soon,

Deepest, darkest Sussex
Crappest is definitely the plastic flag from the promotion game (the free ones left on all the seats), if only because the stalk has bent

Oldest the scarf my mum bought for the 1983 semifinal

Signed branded Albion football from circa 1992, everything completely faded now and the ball is flat (obviously). Lives in the cupboard in a musty bag, where it belongs.

Oldest would be an Albion Supporters Club badge from ( I think ) late 60s.
I have the remains of a scarf which my Mum knitted much before that but about two decades ago Mrs T decided that it was disgustingly dirty and washed it, which didn't go well.......

1977 commemorative promotion shield signed by all the players of the 1976/77 promotion season. Nobby Horton, Peter Ward, Tony Towner, Peter O’ Sullivan.
And then a 1978/79 promotion commemorative shield signed by all the players on the promotion train back from Newcastle including Mark Lawrenson ( broken shoulder in a sling), Nobby Horton, Gary Williams, Peter Ward.
Who else was on that train? Those were the days when a team was on the same train back as supporters.
Couple of thousand people waiting at Brighton train station to await the conquering heroes.

My 91 year old mum has a pass which allowed her access from the South Stand in the Goldstone to the ladies toilets that were in the South West corner of the ground. Circa mid to late 70s.

Well, that must be worth more than 2 sh!ts!

My story was on the Calde Memory banner thing that was around the side of the West Stand. I was told I couldn't have the original as it was badly damaged but I was sent a poster of it which is on my home office wall.

Worst, a "Mon Capitan" Bruno Tee shirt that I bought the week before he took off
Best, a pinstriped grey sweatshirt "1983 FA Cup Final" that I bought from the Goldstone shop - actually I gave it to my daughter last week as my wife must have shrunk it as it didn't fit anymore. (plus programmes from 1982/83/84 - buried in my comic collection)
Oldest; a selection of old b&w signed photos from old players that my daughter bought me.
