Best Albion Comeback?

[bhaexpress]

Not a comeback but a turnaround against Walsall.
0-0 at halftime and won 7-0. Goals from Wardy and Spider Mellor.l

That sprung to mind with me as well. We were getting the run around in the first half and I thought Walsall would nick it.

3-1 down to liverpool 3-3 final score on our knees at gillingham going into the ac stadium nxt year

 

[Billy Mays]

This one didn't have a happy ending but 3-0 down before half time at Bramall Lane in the late 80s. Went 4-3 up leading to delirious scenes among the 200 or so in the away end only to lose 5-4 to the last kick (a header actually) of the game.

Also memorable for a classic comment from Super Kenny Cornwall on the train home which was designated dry because Liverpool were at Derby.

Copper : there's no beer on this train son.
Super Ken : (draining the last of his 4th tinnie and holding it up triumphantly) : that's where you're wrong officer. There is.

Any more Kenny stories anyone? LA BHA of a certain age should be able to weigh in.

3-0 down at Coventry at Highfield Road

Second half hat trick by Gordon Smith to draw 3-3. Unbelievable scenes

Sunderland at home in about 1978. 1 - 0 down with about 2 minutes to go when on comes super sub Eric Potts.....................the rest is history (and it was on the TV the next day, quite a novelty then!).

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

I seem to remember us coming back from 2-1 at Grimsby with 15 mins or so left to win 4-2 in about April/May 85?

But the one I enjoyed most was 1-3 down to Bournemouth with 9 mins to go at home in a league game, can't remember when. Think Chapman scored from long range and then we equalised at the death. Bedlam in the North Stand, that was tremendous.

The Sheff Utd one sprang to my mind as well for some reason. Remember feeling completely gutted, whereas had we lost 3-0 as we were at half time would have just taken it on the chin!

What about Liverpool away in the cup, 2-0 down with half an hour to goal, came back to 2-2 to grab a replay.

First game at the Goldstone August '77 against Millwall, 0-2 down at half time, came back and won 3-2. :albion1:

Think this was the game that Millwall fans wore ballaclavas and tried to climb into the Directors box in the West Stand.

This was also the season we just missed out on promotion due to the south coast club & spurs stitching us up on the last day.

ah, that was my one. incedently the following year against Sunderland,was also on the box. Teddy Maybank hit the bar with the best overhead kick i've ever seen

Correct, I thought it was 2-0 down. It was the last away game of the season, and we had to win to have any chance of making promotion.

I think the goalscorers included Worthington, Connor and Saunders, a fearsome front line compared to what we have had many years since then.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I was at a few of the game mentioned, and think I went the most MENTAL, at the Leicester 0-2 to 3-2 one a couple of season back.

There was a fairly amusing one at home to Forest too, where we went from 0-1 to 2-1 in about 25 seconds. Hammond scored, and that Aussie Ward.

 

[The Large One]

Home to Bournemouth at The Goldstone.

3-1 down, before pulling it back to 3-3, and the North Stand rocking.

I know that one was on TV, so if it's not on Goldstone Rapper's site, there's a challenge for him to find it.

 

[Gritt23]

Winning our last 4 games to stay up in 1981.

 

[Spun Cuppa]

Our greatest comeback has to be from the hands of Archer, Stanley and Bellotti, with no ground of our own for years, and thanks to Dick Knight and Tony Bloom in ten short months at Falmer we will be doing a fair Pheonix impression and beginning a new chapter in the rollercoaster ride that is supporting BHA

 

[Arthritic Toe]

Was it Eric Potts got 2 goals in the last 2 mins when we were 1-0 down to... Spurs?

 

[Ernest]

Correct, I thought it was 2-0 down. It was the last away game of the season, and we had to win to have any chance of making promotion.

And I got BATTERED outside afterwards
