[Albion] Who Scored Your 1st Albion Goal?

[hans kraay fan club]

I have absolutely no idea. Have no specific recollection of who the opposition in my first game was

Someone, at some point in 1982.

1st game was home to Arsenal in the FA Cup in 1988, with (I think) Garry Nelson scoring in 2-1 defeat.

Certainly was. Great goal, too.

Ah, the game where my Economics teacher told me he was David O'Leary's cousin and yet asked if I could get him a ticket.

They would have been my next two choices!! Thanks a million for getting the info and posting it.. can I ask where you got it from? I was on various sites that told me score/date and league tables, but couldn't get scorers!

Yes it's from Tim Carders book, long out of print, called Seagulls - The story of BHA, which gives full details of every 1st team match from 1898/99 to 1993/94.

Just for the record you were part of a crowd of 9997 and it looks like we scored first as we were 1 up at HT

What website is that from? I can never find one that shows MINUTES of goals any further back than about 1990.

I think my first goal was Gerry Ryan, but I could be mistaken, Steve Foster got the other goal that day, and my memory may have them the wrong way round.

Brighton 2-4 Norwich. 27th Oct 1979.

It was Foster - thanks to Hiney, there is a report that says that Ryan got the second.

In the same vein, there are a couple of pictures of that game here

Alan Duffy with both goals.

32,036 at The Goldstone. Bigger than anything possible currently at The Amex of course.

Wow, Alan Duffy!!! Thanks. There cannot be many sports questions that will have him as an answer. A hero for the North Stand and for me, and a "character". Now I will always have reason to remember him.

I remember the huge crowd and noise that day as a young boy (and on many other days in that era). Quite interesting with so many threads about how to improve the atmosphere at the AMEX, remembering the tumult that the Goldstone could create on occasions.

Hi,
Unfortunately that was a Colchester website.

My first match was at home to Shrewsbury Town in November 83, but I have no idea who scored.

My first 2 games were 70/71 & (early) 71/72 seasons Albion failed to score in either. Remember being at the Rochdale promotion game when Templeman scored, but can't remember which couple of games I attended prior to that.
