#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

So proud of TakersJnr last night!
In his 4th adult karting session he qualified in 3rd. By the end of the first lap he was in the lead and never looked back! Won by 11 seconds and beat his previous PB by 0.8 secs!
Average lap time was 45.780 over 38 laps - so consistent!
25 years ago we were staring at relegation from the entire football league, and tonight, amazingly we play our first game in Europe! TakersJnr - just remember, itโs not always going to be like this, enjoy this NOW while you have the chance!!! COME ON!!!! #bhafc
Brilliant performance by Takers Jnr last night to qualify for the final race of the day but came up just short of getting into the regionals - unbelievable progress in just 8 months of karting - well done! #BIKC
@Chriswren74@wearebrighton That was the most horrific 20 mins I have ever seen from a player - even worse than Livermore against Walsall and thatโs saying somethingโฆ
