Capture the history and greatest moments of ‘Brighton FC’ through the newspapers, as written at the time. Starting with coverage of Brighton’s A Cup first round win over Preston in 1908, this book charts a glorious history of great games through the decades of the 20th and 21st century. Early top stories include Brighton’s 1-0 win over Aston Villa in 1910, thrashing Cardiff City 7-2 in 1937 and Watford 6-0 in 1958 to become Division 3 Champions. Read about Brian Clough becoming manager in 1973 and his old team of scouts at Derby County walking out to join him. Relive the excitement of gaining promotion to Division 2 in 1977 and then reaching top flight football with promotion to Division 1 in 1979 after a convincing 3-1 win over Newcastle away. The top stories and match reports continue through the 80s and 90s beating teams like Liverpool, Tottenham and of course the FA Cup Final and replay against Manchester Utd in 1983. All this, and much much more. Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Brighton & Hove Albion fans.
