Good grief, I feared that "Frankie Howard's Pride and Joy" might have been some seaside postcard saucy postcard double entendre. But no it's the groundsman and his pitch.
Mike Bamber bubbling under on the board. He was later the Brighton chairman who appointed Brian Clough.
30,500 for the Boxing Day game against Bournemouth and the return about to occur. Would Brighton's fans have stood at the Brighton Beach end of Dean Court? So called, I believe, because it was gravelly and rather coarse.

Somewhere within the walls of Alpine Towers there should still be an old cassette tape from the 1980's, which has a recording of the Radio One programme 'My Top 10' when it featured Harry Enfield. Harry chose some excellent music, starting and finishing with The Clash. Harry, who was born in Horsham West Sussex, reminisced about going to watch Brighton & Hove Albion at the Goldstone as a lad. He said that if Albion were winning by 2 or 3 goals, the cry of "Duffy, Duffy, Duffy" would start up about 5 minutes from full time. He went on to explain that Duffy was completely useless, and would come on and basically do nothing other than boot the ball into the crowd.....Enfield even questioning whether Duffy was an actual comedy player rather than a serious professional.
I'd long forgotten Harry's tale of comedy substitute Duffy, but it seems he really did exist, and the Appearances and Scorers stats list an A Duffy making 9 appearances....all as sub !!
Forthcoming attractions at the Goldstone: Albion U19 X1 v Brackwede (West Germany)
Curiosity lead me to the SV Brackwede website, from where I selected the football tab, and applied 'Google Translate'
PLAYERS WANTED FOR THE SEASON 2013/2014! ...
SV Brackwede THE ADDICTION YOU!
To all beginners, returners and women willing to change.
You are female, at least 16 years old and you stand to "Poelen"?
You enjoy it in any weather, whether hot cold whether, on Sunday 90 + x minutes with 22 women on the lawn of a round leather chasing after, you complain about the "Referee" and to expend you?
The main thing the ball is round, there are 11 girlfriends together and before the game is after the game?
Hey, you came to the right place, because we need YOU in our team!
The fun in the game and in training with us but is always in the foreground.
Because whether or Arminia Bielefeld FC Gütersloh, mainly SV Brackwede and lots of humor.
We were able to convince some ladies who are now waiting for more friends.

Alan Duffy joined Brighton from Newcastle where I think he'd briefly been a rather unconvincing "next big thing". Early 1970s hairy winger - they were all the rage. There were two enormous away occasions towards the end of that 1972 relegation season: Brighton watched by 27,000 and, a month later, Villa where the crowd was 37,000. I half-wanted to go to both but didn't fearing the worst. Wish I had done; end of an era and all that. If only I'd known. |

"100 Great Goals" features Brighton's first in their previous match, against Villa. A fine run by Templeman, always seeming to be on the point of losing the ball but managing to retain it, a lovely one-two, the ball rolled into Irvine's path and wham! into the top corner past Jim Cumbes.
