[Albion] Who Scored Your 1st Albion Goal?

[zefarelly]

I'd like to say Peter Ward . . . . But I can't remember, it was 1978/9 season though so there's a good chance it was.

Not sure, was my third or fourth game though.....

Away to Blackburn in a 2-2 draw 1983

Really can't remember. Used to go to the Goldstone with my Grandad in the early 70s and really enjoyed it, but didn't pay much attention to who was who. The only player that grabbed my attention at that time was Johann Cruyff, and the glimpses on him on british tv were few and far between.

Started paying more detailed attention to the Albion when I got my first car in 77 and could get to every match at the Goldstone.

2004, I believe Malongo or whatever his name was scored the goal and I remember it being in the first minute or so, think we went on to lose but great memory.

I was there, that was a couple of weeks, after my first game .... Ian Mellor the first scorer..

Hi,

Unfortunately it's a Colchester site, so only covers their history.

Norman Gall, November 1966 when Albion beat Bristol Rovers 3-2 after going 2-0 down.....(the other Albion goals were both scored by Dave Turner)

Wow, three goals from defenders!
Gall and Turner.........two 'ard nuts!

Bobby Smith 1964 versus Barrow.

Apparently Ian Mellor, Brighton v Palace Sept 74, I was 3 months old and only woke up when the goal was scored!

Whoever it was who scored our first goal in a 4-1 win against Carlisle United at the Goldstone, in the 1984/85 season.

 

[Jordy]

Yes, Johnny Byrne.

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

Shouldn’t have doubted myself, cheers Bob. Though apparently I was more in awe of the noise we was making rather than the actual game itself. Remember the home game better on last day of the season, Mike Small scored, Perry Digweed’s penalty save and of course Deano’s free kick in the last min, right in front of the south stand where me and my old man was sat.

Wasn’t that Boxing Day 1988?

Thanks, that would sound right, not living in the area as a kid, I would frequently go to Boxing Day games when we visited relatives for Xmas.
Am sure I went to games earlier year(s) than that but that’s the one I particularly remember.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

First game was Brighton and Hove Albion v Cardiff City, 22 March 1997, can’t recall the scorers

The only memory I take was the atmosphere of the north stand and getting started on by a fat welsh bloke In a yellow coat

Pretty sure it was Robert codner. We won 3-0 at Plymouth in c94. I was already 15 and after growing up in south devon
My old man convinced me in c1991 that supporting Brighton was the way forward. I was hooked. I can still remember the Plymouth goalie messing up a clearance to codner who was in the centre circle and lobbed the keeper for our third goal. It was the goal at our end at home Park when it was a grim open terrace. So few supporters there that we could be seen clearly celebrating the goal on the local news that evening.

Thank you, pretty pleased with that! Also remember getting his autograph before game. After watching the Albion lose to nil in all my other games, even a 2-2 draw felt.geeat

Kit Napier - March 21st 1970. So I'll be getting my 50 year loyalty award from Barber, who just loves the fans, very soon.

can anyone help ?
I've checked the records but cannot find the game, as I remember it the game was Swindon at home which ended as 2-2 in the early 70s but there's no record I can find that records this!
