Dunno if it's on one of the other threads but who played for both clubs?

And what a bargain Michael Small turned out to be. Shame he didn't stay with us for longer.

Looking up his stats I thought he'd played many more games but then 90/91 was the the season when I went to the most games and I saw more goals from him than Nogan or Zamora (so far)

Him and Johnny Byrne... THAT match at Anfield...

Yep, strong, powerful, and he knew where the goal was. An ideal target man really. A virtual unknown when we signed him, having spent most of his career on the continent. Formed a great double act with John Byrne, but then after just a season, he moved on to West Ham for a while, before ending his career in Ireland l believe.
That was a great away day.

One of the last runnings of the famed Seagulls Specials I think. The club chartered a train from Hove, picking up at Haywards Heath, to take fans to the match. It was packed solid. Took hours to get back as we were rerouted, and seemed to do a tour of all of southern England on our way home, I can remember looking up as we went past Oxford Station and thinking, what on earth are we doing here!
Remember this exactly as you describe. An absolutely fantastic day out.
Many things to take away from that video. Jonny Crumplin football genius with John Barnes in his pocket, excellent support and SLOW version of GOSBTS sung correctly, the Kop clapping the Albion off. Marvelous

It certainly was, plus that Rush 2nd goal was offside.
Small scored a great back header in the return that should have stood and won us the tie.

Was that the one with the replay when we scored a goal from a corner but Bruce Grobelaar got given a Free Kick for no reason ?
have to confess I wasn't there but remember seeing replays of it
