The Walton & Hersham and Bristol Rovers shambles followed shortly thereafter.

Christ on a bike, but that has made me feel old

I shook his hand outside the North stand that day. I was 15. He said to me " you're a very cheeky young man aren't you?" as I shoved my way to the front. Starstruck or what?

 

[Johnny Byrne superstar]

[Birdie Boy]

I was only 5 so cannot remember anything about it, however, 3p for an extra special Evening Argus, bargain!

Bumper crowd 16,016 versus york city but a 0-0 score line

 

[Official Old Man]

Yep, I was there. 40 years ago though, wow doesn't time fly. Remember that eight goal drubbing as I walked out from my South Stand season ticket (wooden bench) seat at half time in disgust. Sat at Hove station for an hour waiting for a train.

 

[The Large One]

And Olivia Newton-John chosen to sing for Royaume-Uni in Brighton. Lumme.
