[Albion] Who Scored Your 1st Albion Goal?

[Lincolnshire Seagull]

Ron Clayton

Thanks for that!

 

[Bob!]

Either Kit Napier or John Napier in a 4-1 win against Barrow in the spring of 1969.

I can't find a list of the order of scorerers online.

Kit

From Tim Carder & Roger Harris' Seagulls!



edit: I see AZ has beaten me to it

 

[Worried Man Blues]

The proper shirt

Hence my line below, I was annoyed with the new fangled stripes. Well I obv. know now but the days before internet and History man's Seagull history it was sacrilege. Still like both

 

[Bob!]

John Byrne, I’m pretty sure though could have been someone else scored first and he scored 2x ??

Was an away match at Ipswich in 1990, and my first season ended with a trip to Wembley, shame the players didn’t turn up that day.

Yes, Johnny Byrne.

Mike Small scored the other 2 (inc 1 pen) in a 3-1 win.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Kit Napier, as per the "Albion Results Book" from the Brighton and Hove Albion Collectors' and Historians' Society, now known as the Albion Heritage Society. (The other scorers that day were Dave Armstrong and Alex Dawson with 2).

 

[Jam The Man]

Danny Wilson and then Darren Hughes in a 2-0 win over Palace in April 87.
It was Barry Lloyd’s first win after something like 14 games!

Can someone help me out. 1977-78 season. March 2-0 win at home v Fulham. Would love to know who got the first?

Two legends. Happy with that.

Honestly don't know. Vividly remember my first game as it was my next door neighbour's birthday treat. Sadly it was 0-0 v Southampton in 1979. Went to very few Division 1 games as I was reliant on my dad taking me (Being 8-12 at the time) and the only one I can remember going to at the time was losing 0-2 to Utd in the FA Cup in 1981. I am sure there were a few other games around that time but couldn't tell you what they were.

Can't remember if it was my first Albion game (I was in the north stand), but the one I remember vividly was Dean Wilkins curler into top corner against Palace in our 3:1 win (I think). Sometime in the '80s.

Anyone know the date of this game?

 

[Poyningsgull]

Maybe you can help me then. My first game was on 8 Nov 1958 v Bristol Rovers. It was 1-1 and both teams also missed a penalty - ours hit the bar and theirs hit the roof of the stand. But I don't know who scored for us and can't find it online.

Sorry, can't help. I had to look mine up on line .

Wasn’t that Boxing Day 1988?

 

[Jack Hackett]

Home to Bradford City 21st August 1971, won 3-1. Kit Napier I think.

 

[Taybha]

Eddie Spearmint (as my dad called him)

 

[spanish flair]

Albert Mundy home to Newport County 1955
Albert held the record for scoring the fastest goal scored in the Football League whilst playing for the Albion, he then broke that record again playing for Aldershot in 1958

and according to wiki

he was top goalscorer for us 3 seasons in a row

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Definitely not the first I saw, but the one I remember clearly from around the mid 60s: Millwall legend and hardman (funny how those two go so nicely together) Harry Cripps slotted a lovely OG for us. Thanks Harry, you were a gent.

 

[GREASED WEASEL]

Frank Worthington in the 1-0 home win vs Palace in 84/85. My 1st match, 2nd match was vs Bristol Rovers in '87.

Frank

he really has done it all, hasn't he
