The match would have been awarded to the animals because the insects played an ineligible player. A true insect only has six legs.

I like both halves equally (traditional type). Unfortunately they don't like me, and usually reward me with indigestion. Perhaps its my age.

Looking up from WSL I thought they looked like wagtails, although difficult to tell in silhouette from a distance. The wagging tail was a clue though.

Anyone remember the fella we called the 'Mad Irishman'? Stood to right of goal near the front. Got very angry at our performances and would rant and wave his fists at the players. Had red hair and a red face which got redder the more angry he got. Always wore a brown check jacket (or suit).

He was certainly in full WUM mode tonight

I don’t know what to make of this one. We could stuff them, a la SheffU, say 4-1, or carry on as against Luton and lose 0-3, or do our usual and draw 0-0 or 1-1. Who knows? We are as unpredictable as ever. (Could say I’m hedging my bets!)

Unfortunately was at the Walton & Horsham debacle in 1973. 0-4. Was doing a special task at work in a upstairs room, so sneaked out back door to go and watch the midweek afternoon match. As an aside the following Saturday I was there to see the 8-2 reverse v Bristol Rovers to complete a...

I think all these images are before my time as when I was a lad the terminus was on the other side of the road with the buses going clockwise round the Green. My cousin lived around the corner from here and we often emptied the used ticket box to to give us tickets to play with.

4-2 Mullins after good cross from Flower. Liverpool obviously not as strong as I thought Ft

3-2 Another for Howells popping up in centre to tap in a cross.

2-2 Offiah header from a corner.

Howells goal was a good one after strong pressing by Slater and Mullins on left. Mullins found Howells on edge of area who promptly lobbed ball into top right corner. Liverpool are strong runners and probably too experienced for our young side. Good to see Offish back on the pitch. Presumably...

No.4 ran from Southwick Green to Rottingdean in the 50's. Was a favourite trip when I was a child. Usually caught the no.2 back to Southwick, which came through Woodingdean (and still does), whereas no 4 travelled along cliff top from Brighton.

Slightly OT but I believe the Buss brothers at Sussex were known as Omni and Trolley. (Oh, and we had two Bobby Smiths)
