The last Brighton striker to score 4 goals in a League game was....

[BRIGHT ON Q]

I was there for the Emblen game (4-4 v Colchester) we were 0-3 down at HT. Think he scored 3, and the other was a late pen (minton?)

So, do we have an answer to the last time a Brighton player scored four goals away from home? FG thinks Alex Dawson in the late 60s - was that really the last time?

 

[Acker79]

Didn't Paul Dickov score four for us in one game at the goldstone? Possibly v Newcastle or Blackburn.

Yep. It was 1971 though, I think I remember rightly.

Snap...the first half was possibly the worst I had ever seen from an Albion side and left me wondering at half-time if things could ever get any worse, fortunately they didn't and we rallied nicely in the second half...but it has to be said that the side we had around that time could have won prizes for its ineptness...how they managed to dig themselves out of that particular hole (3-0 down, not Gillingham) remains a mystery to me.

Check it out, I don't think so. Dawson was a Goodwin signing and pat saward was manager from 70/71 and hardly played Dawson and it was also a team that rarely scored. 71/72 was Sawards exciting new team and dawson had left by then.

I've not checked it myself but i'd still stand by early '69.

The Arsegas, for what it's worth, claims that Alex Dawson's 4-goal haul came in February 1969 at Hartlepool.

Thank you.

In those days there was virtually no local radio (Snooze started 14 Feb 67 or 69, not sure which) and so there was no commentary or reports.

Back then Sat afternoons would be half time scores on the TV then watching racing or wrestling. Wrestling, UK style, was very big back then and would go on to about 4.40 when the scores would come in.

At that time it would be switch to the BBC teleprinter which was a fantastic machine as it typed out the scores as they came in. Hartlepool 2 took some typing and we seldom scored away from home so then you had Brighton & Hove Albion (quite a time to prepare for the worse) and then the magic figure of 5.

Then you had to wait for the classifieds because that just HAD to be a cruel missprint!

Ah, life was so much simpler then.

...but if someone scored a large amount they always spelt out the number afterwards in brackets...

...Crystal Palace 0 Brighton and Hove Albion 9 (Nine)...like that!

...and then somehow went on to beat Peterborough away in the next game.

trick question - Glenn Murray

 

[Steve Foster]

After Wade scored 4, all in the second half to thrash Newcastle, then how many more games did the genius that is Barry Lloyd give him after that...? Was it none at all, and did he become a bricklayer in Worthing afterwards or is that just a rumour...?

I remember that game well. Was in the North Stand & we were thinking that Wade would be the next England International. How wrong we were! He was just a one game wonder. A bit like some pop band that has a number 1 hit for one week & is never heard of again!

I think you needed 6 (six) or more!

Yes,yes!

And I remember being at match in Coventry when Albion played at Shrewsbury.At half time it was 0-0,and when they gave out the final score and Shrews had scored 3,all my mates had a laugh.Until the Brighton 5 bit came over the tannoy.Marvelous scenes !

I was in the North Stand when Wade bagged four and also at the Priestfiled on Boxing day but don't recall Emblen grabbing all four. Both cracking games though.
