Unforgettable day

#OnThisDay in 1997

Brighton needed a point away at Hereford to stay in the football league

1-0 down, with no ground & no future, Brighton were staring into the abyss

Step forward Robbie Reinelt #BHAFC

@S14LOV Nice. Ever considered a career in journalism?

Tasmania, with 2% of Australia's population, now holds the BBL title and the NBL title. What else can they get their hands on? You can't convince me this state won't make a success of an AFL team when it comes.

Sit back, relax and enjoy all 1⃣5⃣ goals scored by Japan's record @PremierLeague goalscorer! 🤩

[Paul Watson @paul_c_watson]

That’s a big signing for a National League club, wonder if she’ll start against Altrincham.

[Rob Shaw @TheShawThing]

This is possibly my favourite @OfficialBHAFC goal ever.
Maybe it’s because it’s an impudent finish.
Maybe it’s because this was my daughter’s first Albion game.
But probably because it began our era of domination over a team that haunted my childhood.

@sarahafrance @BrettMendoza_ Australasian countries as well.
