[Albion] 23 years ago this Sunday Peter Shilton played his 1000th Football League Fixture...

[Jesus Gul]

Orient were our main divisional rivals...could only dream of playing Palace let alone doing the double over them then schooling them at Selhurst on a December evening in front of the Sky Sports cameras

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Orient away - what a fixture that used to be in our calendar. Barnet away on Boxing Day every year was a banger too, always a 1-0 win. Should have been 2-0 one season, but Paul Watson managed to Ulloa a penalty into the new year.

 

[Gwylan]

Barnet away on Boxing Day every year was a banger too, always a 1-0 win.

I remember playing there on Boxing Day 2000 - it was absolutely freezing, one of my coldest ever days at football (and yes, we won 1-0, OGH scored)

NSC's Barnet Seagull wearing his bright yellow fleece on the terraces was a particular highpoint. As was the Mitre Inn beforehand.

I remember that photo of Barntit Seaweed.

I wasn't there but was it OGH ? In the back of my mind it was a canter half who only played a couple of games.

Emeka Ifejiagwa?
He scored the only goal in a 1-0 win at Barnet when it poured with rain throughout the match.

Piss off Timmy

Good days, the away games at Orient (though we rarely got anything out of it). Pretty sure in the space of a decade we stood in every part of the ground. The promotion season when Bobby Z scored, loads of us went in the home end (as the away end was sold out) and then we were allowed to walk in to the away end anyway.

 

[Robinjakarta]

Didn't I once see Martin Chivers score for us with a towering header at Brisbane Road?

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Loved the cup game when we were down the side, what a turnout.

 

[Notters]

God I remember it well. How was it 23 years ago?

 

[Bish Bosh]

Didn't I once see Martin Chivers score for us with a towering header at Brisbane Road?

Yes 3-3 in April '79, a month before promotion.

Classic goal by Chivers plus two long-range strikes from Ralph Coates and Paul Clark.

Stands out as a superb match even after all thse years.

We got gubbed! It was a horrific day!

I did mean the atmosphere in there, we always got gubbed by them in that era...then Micky Adams turned up.

Very true!

Hearn knew how to make a buck out of us though and didn't care how many of their fans he pissed off in the process.

 

[Wozza]

Memorable for the day that got me signed up for NSC. I was sceptical about NSC but I met Wozza in the queue to get into Orient and he persuaded me that NSC had got rid of the nutters and I should register. I'm not sure that was quite true but I'm still here 23 years later

Sorry about that.
