from Selhurst Park
It was Easter Monday and perfect weather for the old grudge derby between Palace and Brighton. Little did I know that the much anticipated game, 47 miles north, was going to break three British records, at the time going back 127 years, and subsequently lasting another 29 years to this day.
Yes, one of English football’s oddest rivalries broke the following records:
- Most penalties awarded in a game
- Most penalties awarded to one team in a game
- Most penalties missed by one team in a game

In a similar vein to the 1990 book of the same name this is an account of my favourite year, part one.
Brighton & Hove Albion – Second Division 6th place (losing Play-Off finalists) – FA Cup 4th round – League Cup 1st round.
The motley bunch above, looking ridiculous in their lurid pink away strip, is the team from my favourite ever season, 1990-91.
