Must be around 1975, as that McDonald (Bobby?) Is playing and I don't think he had thay many appearances for us. Think he may have played in the League Cup Final for us though.
The season before was a much more entertaining game and I ended up on the pitch -when Graydon scored and stopped them from going up - the friday night game
Look at their number 2 - Grealish! From wiki: Born in Paddington, London, Tony Grealish played club football for Leyton Orient, Luton Town, Brighton & Hove Albion, West Bromwich Albion, Manchester City, Rotherham United, Walsall and Bromsgrove Rovers. Grealish captained Brighton in the 1983 FA Cup Final. Died in 2013 aged only 56
It was John Robson who took Giddy's place at right back; Charlie stayed at left, and Bobby prompted from midfield.

Orient needed to win to go up and it was a dead rubber for us. Almost 30,000 in Brisbane Road, not many Villa there. We played like our lives depended on it and it meant Carlisle went up (who we lost to the previous Saturday at Brunton Park). Loads of West Ham outside after looking for trouble, kept my head down and my mouth shut. Vic Crowes last game in charge.I had a ticket for the Cup final the next day. Liverpool walkover against Newcastle.
