Thursday 3rd June 2010

On a sunny day, the stunning white arches that would hold up the West Stand roof were lowered into place at Falmer.

On this day 1991,

Over 32,000 Albion fans were at the Twin Towers for the Second Division Play-off Final. Wearing the infamous red ‘Chewits wrapper’ kit, the 3-1 defeat to Notts County was compounded by Dave Regis scoring for the Magpies with his plums.

On this day 2024, Albion's historic (first) European tour was over.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side couldn’t overturn a four-goal deficit from the week before at AS Roma.

Danny Welbeck’s fantastic curler gave the home fans hope but it finished 1-0.

What an adventure!

Did some filming with Albion legend Hans Kraay this evening at The Caxton Arms in Brighton.

It's being shown on ESPN Netherlands soon.

What a lovely chap.

He said that everyone should buy my book:

If you're in Brighton today and pondering what to get the Albion fan in your life for Christmas, Waterstones have the perfect solution.

This sign was purloined when we invaded the directors' box after Carlisle United at home in 1996.

Padded cushions were jettisoned towards the pitch. Away fans applauded us. We were angry.

Other half of the sign was 'directors', who weren't in our good books.

This is a goal in my kitchen.

The small bit of blue netting on the bottom of the side is from the North Stand goal at the Goldstone Ground, expertly cut by a St John's ambulance lady at the last ever game.
