Bobby Smith, formerly of England and Spurs, made his league debut for little old Brighton in the Fourth Division at home to mighty Barrow. He had one year earlier won a European Cup Winners Cup winners medal and played for England. Previously he was in the Spurs double winning team and had another FA Cup winners medal.
The attendance that day was over 20,000. I remember going to watch Sussex play cricket in the morning at Eastbourne and then changing at Lewes station that was absolutely rammed. That was the first indication that we were at the start of something big (well for us, in those days, it was). Then arriving at the Goldstone to see the size of the crowd - wow!
