Too right ! It takes me back to the old days of the Third Division South.

 

Only one club went up in those days, and Brighton had on several occasions led the table, only to get pipped at the post on the last game.

 

However, on one glorious night at the Goldstone Ground, it was the last match of the season, and the Albion needed to win to secure promotion (and of course the championship of Div 3 South) - I was there!

 

Would they mess it up again?

 

Not this time - they were playing Newport County, and when Albion had cracked in four goals in the first quarter-hour we felt they might stand a chance!

 

Albion won the match 6-0

 

Those were the days - Glenn Wilson (capt) played a blinder and so did Jimmy Langley - the first of the winger-backs and years before his time.

 

They were hardly ever called the Seagulls in those days, though - it was all "ALBION!"
