[Albion] The Albion and your birthday

RowleyBirkinQ.C(deceased) · May 12, 2013

What was the score and who did they play on or nearest the day you were born?
Where did they finish that season?
(Apologies to you summer births, just pick the most successful season

The season I was born in was disastrous. The 72/73 season we finished rock bottom of the 3rd division, Winning only 8 matches. And even worse I was born right in the middle of a 12 game losing streak. The day after I was born, we lost 1-0 away at orient on the 9th of December 72.
Over to you, hope yours is more successful

We knocked Liverpool out of the 1984 FA Cup the day before my birth.

For my 21st birthday I was given a newspaper from the day I was born, and of course the Albion's win was the back page headline.

Finchley Seagull · May 12, 2013

I was born in the summer of 1982 so just before the cup final/relegation season.

Stoo82 · May 12, 2013

The day before my birthday we drew 0-0 at home to West Brom.

TottonSeagull · May 12, 2013

Beat Walsall away 1-0 the day after my birthday in 1971. I can remember feeling justifiably proud! :smile:

We were in the old Division 2 and lost away to Southampton 4 - 2 two day s before I was born.

On my birthday 28-8-82 we drew 1-1 with Ipswich Town at the Goldstone. I have a programme from the game

A few days after I was born we beat QPR 1-0 in 3rd Division South - finished 6th.

Coldeanseagull · May 12, 2013

Last game of the season, a week before my birthday, we won away at Scunthorpe 2-1 1960 Div 2

Two days before I was born we lost 2-1 at the Goldstone to Mansfield in the old division 3. Attendance was 10,091.

Ninja Elephant · May 12, 2013

The day before my birth, we THRASHED York 1-0 at the Goldstone and went on to finish 2nd in the league. :albion:

The highlight of the day, in our league, was clearly Notts County 4-4 Wigan. In other news from our league, Chester 0-5 Northampton! Carnage. Doncaster started with a 1-0 win against Grimsby, but would only win 7 more games and finished bottom. Sunderland won the league!

Five days after the date of my birth, Albion lost 1-0 away at Watford (1973).

Johnny Crumplin Football · May 12, 2013

Two days after a 2-1 defeat at Rochdale in the old Division Three on April 4 1970 and two days before beating Rotherham by the same score at home, according to here:

dejavuatbtn · May 12, 2013

I was sandwiched between a 2-1 away win at Southend and a 5-3 defeat at Northampton in 1952.

Everest · May 12, 2013

13 days after I was born we drew 3-3 at Scunthorpe United in the opening fixture of the old Division Two (1961/62).
That left us equal 11th with Huddersfield, Scunthorpe and Swansea on goal average.
We ended up that season bottom. Amazingly, Liverpool and Orient went up.

My 50th birthday coincided with the first league game at the Amex against Donny.

My birthday is in June so nothing of Albion relevance, apart from it being Peters Wards wedding anniversary

Was my sons 10th birthday 4 days after st Patrick's day this year, and we played Peterborough at home and Barnsley at home on mrs' last 2 birthdays

Dumseagull · May 12, 2013

The first game at the Amex against Spurs was on my birthday! what a great day

Football League Division 4. On our way to winning the Championship that season.....

A few days before I was born: BHA 4-4 Chester City
A few days after I was born: Torquay Utd 0-1 BHA

forrest · May 12, 2013

Well I was born in July 1976. So the nearest Albion competive game to my birthday was a 3-2 win over Oxford at home in the old division 3. Opening game of the season and we also got promoted.

Just noticed we actually drew 1-1 away with Southend in the first round of the league cup on 14/8/76 so that was the closest game to my birthday
