Atur Gabbiano, an Italian ex-POW, scored the winner for BHA at The Goldstone in May 1947, in our second to last game of the season, thus ensuring our promotion tilt went to the last game of the campaign. The opponents for the game were Crystal Palace, and our win meant that they were unable to finish in the promotion spots. We then won our last game of the season to gain promotion...

a) Very well remembered and researched, and spooky.

Lovely story, only SLIGHTLY ruined by the fact that most of it is untrue! We did indeed play Palace in May 1947 and won 1-0 in front of a 'crowd' of 6,957. It was the last game of the season and the small crowd was because, far from getting promoted, we finished 17th in Division Three South and all the plastics had long deserted the team. Palace finished 18th!Atur Gabbiano, an Italian ex-POW, scored the winner for BHA at The Goldstone in May 1947, in our second to last game of the season, thus ensuring our promotion tilt went to the last game of the campaign.
