Most memorable Albion momment ever .....

[ali jenkins]

My first ever away game which was the Wycombe 'megaphone' game

Playoff final at Cardif

McShane's goal

and a completley random one, Knight scoring a last minuite goal away at Sheff Utd to win 2-1.

Just standing there and watching MY CLUB walk out at WEMBLEY

 

[Nigella's Cream Pie]

garry stevens equalizer at wembley or gordon smiths first

nothing comes even close to those two moments personally

I agree! But had to mute my celebrations somewhat due to being in Man U section - I turned up late and wasn't allowed by stewards into BHA section which they said was full.

The one that always sticks with me is Garry Nelson's goal at Brentford in the FA Cup in 1987. The crowd went spacky and TLO lost his glasses in the melee. Somehow, they didn't get broken, which would have been a huge problem, as I wasn't old enough to drive and Alan can barely see to the end of his nose without glasses.

 

[Eggman]

Dean Wilkins last minute free kick against Ipswich, last league game of the season '91 at the Goldstone to edge us into the play-offs. Proper Roy of the Rovers moment. Lost my voice, lost a trainer, bruised and battered but absolutely joyful.

Agree with this.

I was right behind that free kick. Bloody mental. You couldn't write the script.

Poor old Barnsley

 

[The Truth]

Virgo against Swindon or McShane against Palace? can't decide. It seems the worst we were the more it meant, these 2 results we're very much against the running in different ways. Yes, Hereford was special but in a different way, it was something we'd deserved through our great performances in the last 3rd of the season. Where as Palace hadn't lost to us for 22 years(I think) with the previous Smellhurst match seeing us get mullered by both club and local police force. The return was extremely sweet with a packed ground and an electric atmosphere.

Swindon was for me the biggest get out of Jail card this club has ever found. We were so poor that night that it wasn't a surprise thousands came flooding back in when we'd equalised. Before that goal I'd never felt so down at the Withdean. I Just couldn't see us scoring, I remember leaving my seat a few minutes before the end and hearing a voice shout at me "it aint over yet", I went down on the running track near the exit and just stood there head down not even watching the final few minutes as I just couldn't face seeing our whole season building up to a Millenium stadium final all fizzle away through one awful awful performance. Then......."They've done it! would you believe it, late late drama yet again at the Withdean!" I didn't see it but I bloody loved it, easily the best moment at the Withdean.

The sunny afternoon in May 1988 at the Goldstone when we beat Bristol Rovers 2-1 to gain automatic promotion back into the old Division 2. First time I had ever seen a pitch invasion coming from everyside of the ground. Fantastic !!!!

 

[trancing]

Virgos goal against Swindon, was leaving the ground when it happened and the dugout got in my way when it hit the back of the net, never gone so mental

 

[Djmiles]

and a completley random one, Knight scoring a last minuite goal away at Sheff Utd to win 2-1.

I remember that one well too. Marvellous scenes!

 

[sod1]

getting ejected at half time from the home end at Selhurst, boxing day 1983 ! we won 3-1 !

Virgos goal against Swindon, was leaving the ground when it happened and the dugout got in my way when it hit the back of the net, never gone so mental

Did you complain?

 

[The Ringleader]

Swindon, Home obvious reasons but the away leg with the Masks and seeing Chippys shop fly in was pretty good

Palarse away was brilliant :yahoo:

and the away games from the great escape last season were amazing, Millwall Colchester Hudders etc etc, the support and the celebrations were just great :yahoo:

 

[Horney]

Seeing the team walk out at Wembley is right near the top for me but some others will forever remain in the memory.
1) Standing in disbelief below Brian Clough ( on the NW Terrace ) and realising that little old Brighton were suddenly on the footballing map.
2) Arriving at Hereford, to find that Fred Binney had been left out of the side and replaced by the unknown Peter Ward. 50 seconds into the game, the legend was born.
3) The greatest 60 seconds I ever saw at the Goldstone. BHA v Derby LC4 1976. From kick off, Charlie George raced through, only to be denied by a fantastic save from Peter Grummitt. Two or three quick passes later and Wardy seared an unstoppable shot into the top corner. Cue bedlam from 34,000.

 

[Mackenzie]

All of mine have been mentioned already....but here we go anyway: Deano's banana kick V Ipswich, 2-1 V Bristol Rovers (Nelson, Bremner), 1-0 V Palace (McShane) and watching the playoff semi-final at home on the telly with the volume swiched off (I'm funny like that!).

I hated the game against Hereford, I was sat in the away end so I couldn't celebrate too much when we equalised (although I suspect that half of the supporters in that stand were Brighton!) afterwards I had a terrible headache due to the stress of it all. It was a great result but a horrible day.

 

[kalinski]

Lots spring to mind but possibly most special was standing on the terraces at Highbury in '83 in stunned disbelief that little old Brighton had actually made it to the FA Cup Final - real boys own stuff to live the dream

yep agree the Case screamer still looks good today

 

[Taybha]

F.a cup quarter final Case rampaging through the norwich defence at the goldstone 1-0 bedlam commences.
happy days

I was there as well. It was one of those goals that made you gasp in astonishment and for a split second it all seemed to go in slow motion and then absolute bedlam.

So many games - agree with many posts and another for me was sitting in the Kemlyn road stand (I think its called something else now) at Anfield in Feb 83 watching my 'small' town club defeat the kings of Europe. I had the perfect view of the Jimmy Case winner and then joining 4,000 other Seagulls in the celebrations that followed. I was 16 and hooked from that day on.

 

[seagullsoverlincoln]

FA cup semi final was amazing day.
Singing Abide With Me at Wembley bought a tear to my eye
RR's Equalizer at Hereford-sheer relief

 

[Bob!]

For me it was walking around Hove Park before the Fans United game, knowing that we had the support of football fans everywhere. It felt like a funeral to me at the time.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

FA Cup Semi-final.

WIlkins free-kick vs Ipswich

Beating Palace 2-0 in 76, both goals from Sammy Morgan. 33,000 gate etc, just an atmosphere rather than ocassion.
