Portsmouth, October ‘83

 

[Kylegreen-1]

February 23rd 2013 Albion vs Burnley. We won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Spanish Dave. Late 15th birthday present cos my entire family are Chelsea fans so my birthday was the only way to make them cave in and take me to a Brighton match.

[papajaff]

Some time in 1966 as a 5 year old lad. My brother, who is 11 years older, took me to the beloved Goldstone.

Can remember the away game but not this one. All I remember about the home game is that there was around 16-17k there and at 5 years old, it was amazing to see and I was hooked.
