Throwback Thursday - Dagenham, Richard Jones, Brighton 1997

Lets start with a 1-1 draw against Dagenham & Redbridge from 13th October 2003. Ben Smith opens the scoring for the Bulls, future Hereford player Dean Beckwith equalises for the Daggers.
 
 
The best of series features Richard Jones. Signed from Newport County in 1988 by Ian Bowyer. The popular midfielder stayed at Edgar Street until May 1993. He then signed for Swansea City in what is now League One, he left the Vetch and achieved success at Barry Town when they dominated Welsh football in the mid 90's, he wound up his career at Merthyr and Havefordwest.
 
 
 
It's hard to believe "that" Brighton game was 20 years ago. Here are the scenes after the final whistle. Riot police on the pitch with a helicopter circling over Edgar Street.
