Here is a photograph from my collection of the work of the photographers Wiles of Hove. I have several crowd shots from Brighton football matches presumably originally taken to sell to those in the photograph. There are some great faces here, and a precise date - September 29th 1920.

Click on the thumbnails above for a full sized view of some of the individuals.  Wouldn't it be fantastic if someone could spot a relative in the photograph? Please do let us know if you think you recognise anyone.

I have a photo similar to this one taken at the Goldstone Ground when the Albion were playing Southampton on October 19, 1912. My grandfather is in the photo in his bus driver's uniform.
