Your best away game as an albion fan

[Joe Nobody]

The first half of the FA Cup 2-2 with Manchester United at Old Trafford in 1981. We went 2-0 up.

[Dave the OAP]

not strictly an league away game, but did anyone else go to Belgium for the pre-season friendly in the 70's....seem to remember Standard Liege as one game?

I seem to recall Ernest was there amongst others

Spurs 0 - 1 Albion added bonus, went up with 2 of my plastic Spurs supporting mates, who were very quiet on the trip home

Happy days!

Went there as well with a Spurs supprting mate,Robinson hit a wonder goal.
My mate was also very quiet on the way home.

Anybody remember Sheff Utd away around 1990 ? We lost 5-4

Yes I went there that day, even though we lost the game it was a fantastic advert for football.

Nottingham (reigning European Cup Holders) 0, Brighton and Hove Albion 1
Liverpool (had been beaten in any cup competition at home since 1973) 1, Brighton and Hove Albion 2
Newcastle 1 Brighton and Hove Albion 3. (Last time any club took 10,000 to St James Park).

 

[RM-Taylor]

I am only 18, so:

Sheff United 1-2 Brighton (Leon Knight in the 93rd minute)

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Wolves 1 Brighton 4

Nelson got a hat trick i think

We have never beaten Wolves 4-1 away and Nelson never scored a hat-trick for the Albion in a competitive game.

 

[Spunk Bubble]

Not been to many but my first was great. Aldershot 1 Brighton 4. 1987-88 season. Shit ground but we tore them to shreds that day.

 

[luke17]

Burnley 1-3 BHA

 

[1234andcounting]

God, so many.

My all-time favourite Brighton performance anywhere, anytime was the 2-0 win at the Hawthorns in the League Cup in '76. West Brom had just gone up with Johnny Giles as manager, were playing decent football and doing well; I think they beat Manure 4-0 either the weekend before or the weekend after we won there. We played them off the park; if we didn't already know, by the end of the evening we knew that Wardy was a superstar as he absolutely destroyed them. Willie Johnston was sent off for aiming a kick at someone (can't remember who) and missing. Took two specials worth and goodness knows how many other fans. A great night and the prelude to seven years of magic.

I woz there

and weren't we 3-1 down , turned it around to lead 4-3 only to lose 5-4!

 

[Storer68]

We have never beaten Wolves 4-1 away and Nelson never scored a hat-trick for the Albion in a competitive game.

but we did beat them 4-2 at Molineux that night. I know cos I woz there.

 

[FalmerforAll!**]

Peterborough 0-1 Brighton & HA - When Zamora scored with not long left to all but guarentee promotion. Felt like we had half the attendance that day, was it 3000 travelling fans? Seem to recall OGH breaking his leg that day aswell.

Norwich 0-1 Brighton & HA - Totally outplayed for 75 minutes of the match, only a VERY brief spell did we get anywhere near their goal, and STEVE SIDWELL scored a superb volley to give us all three points on Boxing Day 2002.

So many decent ones spring to mind but unfortunately those are the only two I can really put into words at the moment.

An unusual one. Blackburn 0 Brighton 1 April 78. Both sides needed a win to stay in the promotion race and threw everything into attack from the kick-off. Could have ended 8-8 but entering the last 5 minutes it was still 0-0 when Eric Potts slid in the winner in front of the small but noisy Albion contingent who had travelled up on the Seagull Special. One of the most exciting games I have ever seen and it set up a memorable visit from Spurs the following Saturday.

 

[tim warneford]

how can anything compare to Hereford? the stakes could not have been higher with the fixture list responsible for such a do or die final game of the season! had we dropped god only knows where we would be now!!! ok the technical level on display was pretty poor but whilst i would say that newcastle in '79 was special and the glory wonderful i think our survival was even more important.

 

[portslade seagull]

FA Cup 4th Round at Anfield in February 1983

un-be-fcuking-lieveable

Agree...they were so cock-sure they were going to beat us.....and we has bricks thrown at us by little 5yr olds unreal
