First season I was allowed to go (walk there) on my own, though did have to meet my uncle at the ground and stand with him in NE corner. Wally Gould was my favourite player, am I right in remembering he had a few fingers missing?

Having 6 weeks of summer holiday in front of you with no plans (who actually went on holiday then??), maybe a few days away with the Scouts, rest of time was hanging out with mates, even getting bored which was fine too......otherwise yes, in the woods, playing football, climbing trees, going to...

Paul Bence, ex captain of Sussex Schools u 15s, had one appearance as a substitute in the late 60s before moving on, that was when our "youth" system didn't really produce much....

Flown in from Mexico to catch this one and Burnley on Saturday so fully expecting plenty of goals, top excitement and a mild Brighton evening!!

After living in Denmark for years then it has to be (even managed to persuade my Mexican family of the wisdom of this) Risalamande. Basically rice pudding with whipped cream and a few other tasty things, includes a whole almond, which gets you an extra present (bit like the old sixpences in the...

Clocks globally finally aligned so a breakfast kick off here and Prime will deliver yet another superb matchday experience and the latina football "experts" will be drooling over us again, through with less preference for our brazilean contingent. Time to walk the dog in the balmy morning...
