[Albion] Who Scored Your 1st Albion Goal?

[Jordy]

John Byrne, I’m pretty sure though could have been someone else scored first and he scored 2x ??

Was an away match at Ipswich in 1990, and my first season ended with a trip to Wembley, shame the players didn’t turn up that day.

Maybe someone can help me!

The first Albion goal scored whilst I was alive happened on the 21st August, 1993, vs Hartlepool United. Can’t find the goal scorer online.

I think Andy Kennedy is your man.

Kit Napier (inswinging corner) v Bury 1969. 2-0 final score

I saw that, too! He threatened to do it frequently when he took corners and regularly caused havoc in opposing defences with his corners. Question for the experts: how many times did he do that? I'm pretty sure it was more than once

Bobby Zamora. League Cup v Wimbledon

Grummitt was a truly great goalie, the best in our history. Chatting to older Albion fans over the years, they told me about incredible Grummitt saves homes and way.

To me, they didn't look that great. That was because his positional sense was so good, that he didn't need to throw himself around and look spectacular as some goalkeepers do. He was a really good, safe and reassuring goalkeeper and yes, probably our best ever.

Don't remember. The first I recall were the two by Bobby Smith in his Brighton debut vs. Barrow in 1964, and damn good they were too. A surprisingly deft, skilful player for his heavy and ultimately overweight build.

Who ever it was who scored for us v Chesterfield on 21/9/63.

Mine was an OWN GOAL!

Scored by a Mansfield player at the Goldstone, 31 Jan 1976. It won us the game (1-0). Don't know the actual player's name as the record books just say 'OG'.

The first Albion player I saw score was Sammy Morgan, against Palace in front of a 33,000 crowd a couple of months later.

Either Kit Napier or John Napier in a 4-1 win against Barrow in the spring of 1969.

I can't find a list of the order of scorerers online.

Kit Napier, as per the "Albion Results Book" from the Brighton and Hove Albion Collectors' and Historians' Society, now known as the Albion Heritage Society. (The other scorers that day were Dave Armstrong and Alex Dawson with 2).

At home to Southampton with a penalty. Result was 1-1. Might of been 82. ( but I could be wrong on all of this lol)

Neil McNab scored a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Southampton on April 3 1982.

Maybe you can help me then. My first game was on 8 Nov 1958 v Bristol Rovers. It was 1-1 and both teams also missed a penalty - ours hit the bar and theirs hit the roof of the stand. But I don't know who scored for us and can't find it online.

Whoever scored first for the Albion against Wolves in 1969 in the League Cup at the Goldstone

Allan Gilliver

Frank Worthington in the 1-0 home win vs Palace in 84/85. My 1st match, 2nd match was vs Bristol Rovers in '87.

Peter Harburn vs Brentford 1958

 

[Goldstone1976]

Google was my friend. Turns out it was Rollo with a near-post header in our 4-0 drubbing of Swindon in Nov 76 (other goal scorers being Wardy and Spider (2)).
