Brighton V United 24th Sept 1977

[Darren]

More youtube footage I hadn't seen before. See some awful defending as Peter Ward gets a couple of goals for Brighton, Unfortunately Colin Franks' goal for United in the 1-2 defeat isn't shown. Sirrel was sacked after this game with United next to bottom of Division 2

Dismal performance.

My mates 19th birthday. All the way to Brighton for a game that turned out to be on MOTD. Special coach that returned via London dropping us at Victoria at about 5:30, picking us up again at midnight. Brilliant sunshine on arrival at the coast (so naturally left coat/jacket on coach), lashed it down later in the day so got piss wet through on the open terrace. An evening on the piss (and it was piss in those days) in the capital, drenched to the skin. Classic day out and wouldn't have missed it for the world!
