I've never forgiven the thugs from Darlington who crocked Bert McGonigal at the Goldstone in 1963.... Anyone else remember that?

Spoiler alert... For the tiebreak question it would have been much fairer to have asked what the combined capacity of the Amex and Twickenham and the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam was....

For reasons that I cannot understand or explain I initially read this thread title as "Can anyone recommend a good beaver?"

Arguably the most important goal in the club's history...

Just looking through that 65/66 handbook again I think this photo shows Jimmy Collins' 5th minute penalty from that Barrow game. If you look really carefully you can see me, on the east terrace, between Johnny Goodchild's legs..... No doubt a lot of other contributors to this thread will be...

East terrace for me too, towards the north end, but quite low down close to the pitch, where I could see Smith (not difficult given the lad's size). Not where I stood for most of that season though which was still on the east terrace, but on the short section between the north-east floodlight...

Well, that's 3 of the 20,058 accounted for so far!

Bobby Smith made his debut for the Albion against Barrow. Here's the Sunday Mirror's report on the game. Anyone else on NSC who was there on the day?

Here's the Sunday Mirror's back page report of the match. Anyone recognise themselves??

Here's a long-forgotten, but Albion, comeback, that at the time promised to change the course of the season. The date is Saturday 23 February 1963, and here's the bottom of the Division III league table on the morning of the game. Albion are in the 4 relegation places, but having played 4, 5...

Also Howard Wilkinson, ex-Albion winger (1966 -1971), now League Managers Association chair, OBE for services to football and charity.

I think this was the Christmas 1966 League game at the Goldstone, when John Templeman was brought into the side to make his debut, specifically to mark Rodney Marsh. We had lost 0-3 at Loftus Road on Boxing Day, but drew 2-2 the following day at the Goldstone. Don't know what RDZ would think...

Thugwall at the Old Den, 12 September 1964. Lost 0-2, but Albion went on to be Division 4 champions that season, with Millwall finishing second. Back in the days when Millwall were undoubtedly the Albion's main rivals, not Palace. The atmosphere was, shall we say, a tad intimidating.... The...
