I was at this match! Sitting in the old West stand. David Webb in goal as John Phillips hadn't made it to the ground in time?

Phillips and Bonetti were injured. Steve Sherwood got called up but got stuck in traffic.

Thought I'd give a shout out to this guy I bought the snood only four quid and free delivery. I've had the old away scarf for about 10 years it's a real if you know you know when I wear it to home games. Don't wear it against Liverpool, United, Southampton etc though 😁

Brighton vs Chelsea (1983)

I was in that enclosure and nearly got my head busted by a seat thrown from above. If I remember right afterwards the Pompey chairman had a moan up about the amount of seats destroyed to which Ken Bates countered that it was only a handful of blokes responsible.

Before kick off it looked as though it was gonna happen at the corner of our end where it joined onto their side terrace. A family friend I grew up with from Mitcham reckons he was the first one into the no mans land that separated the two mobs.

You posted it @Boyne I remember commenting about what a great picture it was I might have other pictures of that day. Looks like 89/90 bloke looks like he's wearing the away top slightly left of centre.

Thanks. Now you've mentioned it I do remember posting the picture and your comments. I'd forget my head if it wasn't screwed on!

Yes remember him scoring the winner for us at Upton Park, a period when we had quite a few shortish players. 

John Spencer being another.
