The Albion Scoring 4 or More Away

Razzoo · Feb 24, 2016

Sheff Utd 5 - 4 Albion in '89. Still the craziest game I've ever seen. They were coasting 3-1 when we came back to lead 4-3 then towards the end they got the equaliser and the winner. Bob Booker got one of theirs. Entertaining to say the least.

I believe it was a certain Gordon Smith...?? Don't know how much they paid for him mind....

Correct, the leading goalscorer was Gordon Smith, whom we sold for £40,000.

Their player of the 80's, and twice winner of player of the season, was Neil McNab, signed from Brighton and Hove Albion, for £35,000.

Was it Rotherham and wasn't it at Highbury?

You might be right about Highbury; it's the sort of thing BG would definitely know (and who was playing left back for Rotherham).

On the subject of Alex Dawson, think we won 5-1 or 5-2 and also remember John Vinnicombe saying that he should have scored five but after rounding the keeper, he rolled the ball towards the empty net, only for it to stick in the mud and be cleared.

This is true, I was there. Now that was a long weekend

6-2 at Aldershot, FA Cup around 2000. Charlie Oatway scored a curler of sorts.

Remember this game with affection. Absolute monsoon weather and few of us could not get tickets for the away end so ended up in the home end. A quick rendition of Albion songs convinced the police to move us to the away side. Had to dodge a few punches on the way though. Some home fan tried to have my hat off me, soon got that back.......no one nicks my 'at guvner.

Even a clip of Lawro praising us at the end in the studio!

Leicester 4-1 we spoilt their party, it was funny

The match which finally made Leicester realise what a good goal scorer Leo Ulloa was.

The rest, as they say, is history.

We won 4-3 at Ashton Gate in 1932.

Even [MENTION=3975]Ben's Grandad [MENTION=3975] will struggle to recall that one.

It used to annoy me so much, that commentators would repeatedly refer to Michel, as MICHAEL Kuipers. They obviously failed to do their homework.

Good call. We never quite got full credit for such a dominant Albion performance - too many pundits and neutrals were quick to blame the hangover from Leicester's promotion celebrations. We had the hoodoo over them that season both home and away. It's quite nice to see their current form in the PL at a rocking KP stadium - and then to recall just how we burst their bubble that night. Marvellous scenes.

Like the OP I can recall our previous 4 nil away win in Bristol at Eastville in '78. A rearranged evening game played in a gloomy, drizzly mist at Rovers sad old stadium, with the backdrop of the gas works. A grim setting lit up by goals from Peter Ward and a Poskett hat-trick in another dominant performance. The Seagull Special charter train was rocking on the way home. Good memories.

I was at those two too, Graham Pearce specialised in last minute winners away from home!

Possibly Leeds United too that year ?

Didn't go to Shrewsbury that season and heard that it was 0-0 at HT. Watched BBC at final whistle, as the old teleprinter clattered into action. My heart sank as ' Shrewsbury 3 ' appeared, only to leap again as ' Brighton 5 ' then came up. From despair to joy in about 2 seconds.
In these days of instant scores and results, people forget the trauma of watching that old printer clatter away, never knowing what to expect.

Ah! The old teleprinter, it would sometimes pause in the middle of giving a result, maybe a case of mechanical flatulence, then complete the score like a gigantic fart.
