Forty years ago today

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Not me. I stayed at school for that one, I remember you going though and how pissed off you were the next day. How little we knew what was to come a few days later (but I missed that too, I was working at my Saturday job). Until 1997, this was probably my worst week as a Brighton supporter.

What made worst is that TTF and I went on one of the educational cruises a week later and had to endure a lot of grief from fellow travellers when they found we were Brighton fans

Better memory than me Max. Trying to rack my brain to think who I went with then? Must have been young Childs. The 8-2 was a bigger shocker and that was second worst nadir of the past 40 years. Trying to remember what was the worst nadir?

Where is the obligatory poll ?

Never mind that. We should have signed Clive Foskett, hat-trick hero.

I was completely unaware of the existence of BHA 40 years ago today

I really think this was my greatest low in terms of a match result. Hammered by a non league outfit. Walton weren't even lucky.

Thank you----I feel very old now but a very young 17 year old then

I was at the 0-0 at their place and we could have lost that ! - wish we had really.

Yes, me too, thinking it couldn't get any worse!

6500 at that match, but I'm guessing you couldn't tell how many Albion went up due to lack of segregation (and goals!)

I'll be posting footage from this game tomorrow... Be warned!

That's a hidden gem! Was it a spelling test you missed, by any chance?

Didn't realise we hadn't lost the game,we got chucked off the tea bar roof as the goal was disallowed,not till we got back to heath we realised we got the draw!
