THIRTY-ONE years ago today

[Badger]

I'd probably just been conceived, not something I want to give too much thought to.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

What a day. We were living in Newington Green and walked to Highbury.

 

[Official Old Man]

That Case goal. I decided pre kick that I would just stand and milk in the excitement. I did just that. Whilst everyone around me was going mental I stood and watched. Probably remember it more for that than any other goal.

 

[Dan Aitch]

And just a single day after Bowie's "Let's Dance" album was released. What an amazing coincidence.

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

Probably the most enjoyable day of my life

 

[wolfie]

Agree with everything said above. I think every one of us on the Clock End thought Case's shot was coming towards us !
Anybody remember the Met Policeman's rendition of SBTS accompanied by their brass band before the KO ?

 

[Curious Orange]

How times have changed - the seagull went to the right back then.

When did it start going left?

2011... and I think you might have gotten left and right mixed up!

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Amazing day.

 

[Screaming J]

What a day. We were living in Newington Green and walked to Highbury.

Nearly snap! I was living in Hackney Downs and walked to Highbury.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

I was like 2 months old

 

[Birdie Boy]

I remember getting into the clock end and it was extremely hot, completely rammed and as a tiny 15 year old it was rather suffocating. A woman fainted next to me so me and a mate decided to go to the back where we jumped up on the wall and had a perfect view of the whole game. Great day, maybe not for the woman though!

Yes if you're looking at the badge. No if you're wearing the badge or actually the seagull.

 

[ExmouthExile]

This JCL missed it all by 6 months (Brighton fan since October '83)

 

[sully]

I remember Newcastle away '79 as the greatest awayday with the Albion, but this one was pretty damned close!

I just love seeing Jimmy Case's goal before every match at the Amex. Brings back fantastic memories of that moment.

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'd probably just been conceived, not something I want to give too much thought to.

Did that also happen Highbury? Hats off. Literally.

We were standing on the side, about in line with where Case shot from: incredible. RIP Tony Grealish.

A Marvelous Day as a 10 year old, the trip up in a convoy of double Decker buses. the roar when Case scored, the number of balloons, the copper that helped me over the advertising boards so I could run onto the pitch.....great day

 

[Taybha]

Cant remember much apart from Moseleys save which i still reckon is the best ive ever seen in person , and going back to the datsun cherry to find the back window screen had been caved in , didnt matter just easier to hang out the back and twirl the scarves as we passed the never ending stream of coaches on the way back to brighton , never had lime in my lager since that day .

 

[Phat Baz 68]

The greatest BHAFC day in my life, it was amazing.

I second that, behind that goal as a snip of lad just turned 15 and hammered off my tits, seeing Albion win and ending up at a party back in Crowborough and shagging two different 23 year olds at the same time ha ha ha !!
The hostesses sister and her mate GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE BY FAR !!!

 

[AZ Gull]

I was like 2 months old

And your parents had just emigrated from the US?

 

[Seasidesage]

The crowd surge after Jimmy Case scored was immense.

Tell me about it, I'd just got back with two pints after queuing for half an hour! Both ended up all over me...
