Yes. You are absolutely right. We were playing in the old Second Division at that time. The Football League Cup run for that season went like this: Round 1 a bye? Round 2 Millwall (H) 1-0 Round 3 Burnley (A)...

Sorry The Wookiee. I see too many spirits and from the bottom of a bottle. They keep getting me in to trouble, so I'll leave your spirits well alone, thank you.

Still. It covered the white lines for a few days. :lolol:

This was out of the same episode. Derek and Rodney were being pursued through the Florida swamps by the local Maffia. They were up to their necks in, but were rescued by Boycie and Marlene, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, on a propellor driven craft. They had just been hauled aboard when...

A song I remember was sung at Nottingham Forest, after we were defeated in a League Cup match. We were in the old Third Division at the time and Forest were riding high in the old First Division and in Europe. During the final few minutes of the match, and as the Albion players trooped off of...

5-6? Come off it. You gave my ankle a soaking when you were twelve years old you dirty little toe rag.

Stavros's real name was Tony McCleod. He was a British Rail guard and the whole idea of The Seagull Special was his. I saw Tony a couple of years ago in a wheelchair, in Worthing. I took down his telephone number so that I could give him a call, but when I went to use it I couldn't find where I...

I've just read it. Brilliant piece. An emotional old boy is off to bed now.

Oh you guys. I'm getting all emotional and angry at the same time. THOSE B..STARDS TOOK AWAY OUR HERITAGE AND GAVE US NOTHING IN RETURN. I'LL NEVER FORGIVE STANLEY, ARCHER & BALLONEY. I concentrate on the road ahead or glance towards Hove Park when I drive past the site. No way will I ever...

You're thinking of the one in North Street? The original shop was in Trafalgar Street. If you just stopped to breathe outside the shop Sammy would have you inside in a flash and your inside leg measurement was written down before you knew what had happened.

Had my first tailor made suit from there. Powder blue, draped jacket and with drain pipe trousers. Didn't that suit used to rock?!?

Another Goldstone name comes to mind. Dear old RON PAVEY and that bloody mike plugged in to the dug out underneath the West Stand. He used to be in full flow anouncing the winner of BHA Lottery and the damn thing was always cutting out. He used to resemble a Norman Clollier comedy sketch.

Although retired from the force now, Mick can be seen every match at Withdean doing his stint in the security cabin.

. . . . . . and then there was the young woman who used to sit behind the South Stand goal, drooling over Terry Connor whilst sucking strands of her hair, uttering the occasional outburst of, "Take the runner."

How about O'HAGANS on the seafront alongside Middle Street. Oh! My mouth is watering at the thought of those delicious hot dogs with the onions. They used to taste even better after BRIGHTON TIGERS had thrashed a team like Wembley Lions or Paisley Pirates. Will we ever see ice hockey again in...

Thanks for that Chappers. I was struggling to remember his name. I'm glad to hear that he is still about. I remember that some days he used to take his old dog with him when he sold The Argus at the Goldstone. (Please don't be tempted to add, "Most of us used to leave ours at home cooking the...

During Muller's heady days there was another character who used to have a large seagull attached to his hat. He was Mark Lawrenson's landlord and his name was 'Dinky' Doo.
