Just watching a recorded 'The Big Match Revisited'

Brighton v Spurs, April 1983. Ramsay sent off and misses the semi final. Galvin also takes an early bath (and in those days it did mean a bath as they still had the communal bath). At right back for Spurs was Chris Hughton sporting a rather large afro hairstyle.

For the record, we came from behind to win 2-1 with goals from Gatting and, in the dying moments, Ryan.

Finally, if you thought the Amex pitch was bad, you aint seen nothing!!!!

That was my first ever game. My Dad took me and my brother for his 9th Birthday. My brother is a Spurs fan and cried all the way home. He still hates Brighton to this day due to that game ruining his birthday!

God I used to love watching that Brighton team - Ramsey was my favourite player in those days, closely followed by Gerry Ryan - how is he btw, anybody know?

No shirt sponsors but a month later us and Man Ure were both sponsored up anybody know why that was?

Highlights of the match were shown on TVS. Were there regulations in place at the time that meant shirt sponsors were removed when highlights of games were televised?

Was it 78' when they invaded the pitch at full time breaking the north goals cross bar?

I don't remember that,they tried getting the game abandoned after our 2nd goal

when the OB cleared the pitch,we more or less scored our 3rd from the re-start
