What was the first game the Albion played after you were born?

[Seagull on the wing]

Trying to check the Albion games as I was born 20th June 1958 but have found that West Germany lost to Sweden 3-1 and Brazil beat France 5-2 in the World Cup Semi Finals on the 24th June 1958

Not very good news for you mate...the first game after your birth was the new season 0f 58/59...first match the very infamous thrashing away to Middlesborough 9-0 when a certain Mr B Clough scored five of them......sorry!

 

[Cian]

Lost 0-3 to Sunderland. And went down that season.

 

[Mileoakman]

Mine was home to QPR on the 24th March 1945 and we drew 1-1.

I don't know how to find out, That website told me the game was on the 11/03/89 and that we were in the old second division but I can't see who we played that day or the score. Anyone able to help?

11/3/89 away to Shrewsbury Town 1-1 draw...Garry Nelson Brighton scorer.

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

A destruction of Wolves 5-1 at home, not bad methinks. (1984-85)

I see that, we were pretty darn good at home that season, but a few more away wins and we may have gone back to Div one, ah well what could have been!

Brighton 0 - 4 Arsenal

Bloody hell, I remember that game. First home game in div one, I was in the North stand when we got rumbled by a load of arse fans who had got into it with us. Nice welcome to the big time.

 

[inland seagull]

Beat Colchester (H) 5-1 18.08.51,

I see that we won 2-1 at Palace on Christmas Day and beat them again 4-3 on Boxing Day in that season. Some things never change, apart from playing on Christmas Day of course

Just imagine telling the Mrs to hold on to the presents on Christmas morning and put the turkey on standby 'cause I am off to Football??

Blimey Dad, is that you.

 

[Ernest]

Won 2-0 away at Lincoln on the day I was born, 7/3/64

We were at home and we beat Millwall 1/0. Also found out that there was a pro footballer who has played for Colchester born in Brighton on the same day as me. Fascinating. Maybe thats where I got the love of the game from. Watching his booties kicking there in the crib next to me!

Blimey Dad, is that you.

Now I understand your screen name...you're a chip off the old block!

28th sept 1946
Albion 0-4 Cardiff city

how thing change eh!
and a fact I came up with whilst looking for that result is that the great John Napier was born on the same day as me watched him loads of times but never knew that
todays useless fact

 

[Southern Scouse]

Blimey Dad, is that you.

I thought it time to leave the closet son, don't take it too badly!

 

[Chamberpot]

We beat Portsmouth 2-1 on the 29/04/92. I was born two days before and that season we finished second from last and were relegated.

 

[RickofBHAFC]

1-1 draw away to Coventry in old Div 3 played on the day I was born - Brighton finished the season in 21st place and were relegated.

 

[lizard]

Kind of topical at the moment due to a certain cup draw.
We lost 1-4 at home to Liverpool on the day I was born.

 

[Seasider]

2-0 boxing day 1983 away win at Palace 4 days after i was born
