FA Cup semi final Highbury 1983 has it for me. Feels (and is) a long long time ago...

I also remember an amazing thunderbolt of a goal at the Goldstone against Forest past Peter Shilton (final score 1-0). Forest were at the time the reigning European Champions, that was pretty amazing...

yep both.

Although for the atmosphere, the Palace win up there takes a lot to beat.

The FA Cup semi-final v Sheffield Wednesday, at Highbury... Jimmy Case and Michael Robinson scoring... Jimmy Melia and his magic hat... and we are on our way to Wembley

Same

Sheff Wed at the Goldstone, end of season 76/77 (a season in which we only lost one home match) and we had only to win to make sure of going up. They had NOTHING to play for and were already assured mid-table anonymity. I could NOT believe they played like men POSSESSED, and with no good reason other than pride. I was bloody torrid, nailbiting end-to-end great football with action abounding!
We ended it as 3-2 victors, but had to sweat and play out of our skins for that result. We ended up buying one of their players too, Eric Potts.

Actually that draw with Ipswich under Mcghee to keep us in the championship was a bit of a cracker.

Beating Liverpool in 1984 in the cup.

Was that 1977. Rotherham needed to win to go up but lost 4-0 or something like that to Reading who were already relegated. So we went up?

The classics I was at are obvious ones:-
Fa Cup Final
FA cup Semi Final
Play off at Millenium Stadium
Newcastle 1979

But one of my all time favourites is is a bit obscure but it was absolutely brilliant. Beating Ipswich 2-1 in the league cup in 1977 when Graham Cross got a last minute winner. We were in the 3rd Div; they were in the 1st. I was in the N Stand and I just remember the whole place going absolutely mental. A great night!

 

[SeeGoals]

Fans United Day was one of the best, the FA Cup game against Crawley was a good one too. Just being part of the North Stand Noise singing, getting pushed from the top to the bottom when we scored and STANDING UP to watch, what a novelty! Oh happy days!!

 

[Herm]

Brighton 5-0 Yeovil - what a bloody relief!

No favourite was definately the Swindon home leg of play-off - such a great night

 

[SeeGoals]

The one where Smith scores the winning goal in the '83 FA Cup Final.

Brighton 1- Doncaster 0. The last ever game at my second home. Stuart Storer scores the last ever goal and takes us off the bottom of the whole entire football league. That will always be in my memory, second Robbie Reinalt equaliser against Hereford watching the video on Youtube now gives me goosebumps everytime.

 

[O Lads]

Brighton 1-2 Swindon

Brighton win on penaltys

:yahoo:

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

FA Cup Round 5 - January 1983

Liverpool 1
Brighton & Hove Albion 2

The greatest ever BHAFC without a doubt.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

The 2-0 win over Liverpool at the Goldstone in 1984.

That was the one that first came to mind for me.

 

[British Bulldog]

2 Games that stand out for me were in the 1976/77 season.

Beating Ipswich Town 2-1 in extra time in a league cup replay and winning 3-2 against Sheffield wednesday that secured promotion, I watched both games from a packed north stand at the Goldstone.

 

[foul old ron]

Liverpool 2-2 Albion.

At Anfield in the cup. We were 2-0 down but Small and Byrne both scored to get them back to the Goldstone (which was another great game that we unfortunately lost in extra time).

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Brighton and Hove Albion 2 Manchester United 2

FA Cup Final

1983

Nothing else comes even close IMHO.

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

westham- brighton 2005. Took my father for his birthday. He went to every West Ham game as a kid and it was his first visit in nearly 50 years. He cried when singing 'Blowing Bubbles'... and we won!!!!

otherwise , despite Smith must score, wembley 83

 

[Uncle Buck]

For some odd reason a game around the 94/95 season, when we won 3-0 against Plymouth at Home Park. It was just before Christmas, raining, there were probably about 150 on the open terrace there and Codner scored from 45 yards.
