[Albion] Earliest Albion FA Cup memory?
- Thread starter GREASED WEASEL
- Start date
Anfield 1991 (?) stands out as an early memory. Not sure if it’s my earliest or not.

Silly old bat
Chelsea 1967 draw at the Goldstone.
I remember the Southampton 6th round match, but first one live was at home to Leeds in Jan 89.
We went one nil up through a Curbishley penalty in the 60th minute, but a very late Ian Baird goal gave Leeds a come from behind 2–1 victory.
The Liverpool game (both) two years later was amazing. I bunked the day off school to watch Liverpool train and got a photo with David Burrows!

Aldershot away 0-0 Jan 1967. Pissing down. Great day out.

Same here. It was on MOTD too. John Boyle was sent off. The commentator made a snarky comment about how bad the floodlights were.

Bit like the 6-2 win, 33 years later.

Queueing for a reserve game so we could get tickets.
My mum said she heard the crowd in Westdene when we equalised.
Replay.
Couldn't find anywhere in Stanford Bridge to watch the game. We finished up on the roof of a shed but could only see between the two penalty areas.
I went to that - 23,748 there. I dropped my coat on the East Terrace and sent coins tumbling down the terrace. Some honest folks in there that day, some less so!
My earliest memories were probably Hillingdon Borough, Leatherhead, Walton & Hersham and Chelsea from the 70s.

Losing 3-2 is 78/79 to Wolves - I remember Lawrenson's amazing goal

Brighton 3 - Burnley 3. Little ol' Albion in Division 2 versus the current League Champions.
Whilst I saw that game, I can remember from the season before: Brighton 6 - Rotherham 0. Second replay at Highbury.
