Brighton boo-boys 'favourites'

[Stat Brother]

Glancing through the 'sake thread got me wondering just how many players have worn the stripes & got nothing but abuse, whether justifed (if that's possible) or not.

And has anyone other than Tank made a lazarus type recovery.

Here's a couple to be going on with:-

Tony Towner (been mentioned but just before my time)
Kevin Bremner
David Lee

 

[Knightsworld]

Mick Ferguson, what a useless w@nker that bloke was when he played for us.

He scored bagfulls for Coventry (i think), came down here and nothing

 

[Citrus]

Arguably Jonah and Brooker.

remember him getting a hat trick v carlisle when we did them 6 - 1 at the goldstone I think



Codner

 

[Albion Dan]

John Crumplin used to be a target until he turned it round
Gary Chivers also had the same problem for a while.
Mark Farrington but well deserved
Oatway and Paul Rogers more recently.

Everyone is entitled to 1 good game.

I don't remember Tony Towner as anything but a complete local hero.

Does anyone else remember him getting abuse?

He was one of my choices for Heroes and Winners.

Great player for the Albion.

You'll need to take that up with NMH on Citrus' 'sake thread.

 

[Stinky Kat]

Warren Aspinall
Dirk Lehmann

spring to mind

 

[kalinski]

Eric Young used to get loads of stick especially if he tried to run with the ball. Teddy Maybank & Eric Steel remember getting abuse. Mind you Eric Steel was an amazing shot stopper!

 

[Vlad the Impala]

Terry Connor struggled to begin with, I seem to remember. But he overcame it with sheer hard work. A real star.

 

[rool]

Micky Thomas
Paul Kitson

I don't remember K.Bremner getting much stick. Him and Nelson had quite a reasonable partnership I thought although not in the same class as Small / Bryne that followed them.

 

[Simster]

Paul Rogers more recently.

I could never understand the abuse Rogers took. He was class, chipped in with the odd goal and often looked far better than anyone around him.

 

[shingle]

Perry Digwead

Totally agree and we haven't had a decent replacement since.

Seem to recall Bremner getting eeaw chants dirceted at him from Albion fans at Portsmouth. Even McCammon hasn't had it that bad has he??

Matthew Edwards
John Westcott
Teddy Maybank
Les Berry
A Millwall legend who's name escapes me who finished his career here. Now he WAS shit.
Ashley Neale

 

[CHAPPERS]

I remember when Warren Aspinall actually managed to get round someone at the Withdean and then, for no apparent reason, fell over.
