Relive Albion’s historic Hereford clash at Edgar Street from 1997

-

One of the most iconic results in Brighton & Hove Albion’s history will be replayed in full on the club’s official YouTube channel.

Albion’s 1997 relegation showdown with Hereford will be streamed live at 3pm on Monday 2 May, a day before the 25-year anniversar­y of that epic encounter.

The Seagulls travelled to Edgar Street knowing a draw was enough for survival, but defeat would condemn them to relegation from the Football League.

With the club in existentia­l crisis, Albion fans feared that dropping out the league could have disastrous consequenc­es for the future of the club.

A week earlier, Albion bid farewell to the Goldstone Ground with a vital victory over Doncaster Rovers to set-up the nerve-shredding final day scenario.

And now, for the first time ever, courtesy of ITV Sport, supporters can re-watch the dramatic events in full.
