Brighton boo-boys 'favourites'

[empire]

codner,

 

[Scotty Mac]

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

superb

mccammon doesn't deserve the abuse he gets

 

[portlock seagull]

Can't believe nobody's said Dean Wilkins, he was nicknamed Wendy for his tackling abilities and always got a groan from the north stand nearly every match, yet he was also v.popular and bleeds BHA, becoming one of the most picked players of all time at our club (300+ I think). Used to give him so much stick as a teenager, yet there I was at his testimonial, you just couldn't dislike the bloke for some reason

 

[MikeySmall]

keith dublin used to get shedloads of abuse.... I remember loads of fans singing to get his head out of his arse....

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Gary O'Reily.

Sort of agree. In his first spell was a decent right back, then after a spell at Palarse had all the skill kicked out of him and came back a donkeyesque centre half.

Mark Walton was never a favourite and Andy Kennedy. One i thought should have been a booboy target was Raphael Meade, but didnt seem to evoke any sort of reaction, just a stunned silence.

Johnnie Goodchild took some stick back in the old days.

 

[Windmill]

Simon Funnell - absolutely pants

 

[FamilyGuy]

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

 

[3gulls]

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

Ricky Marlow.
Robert Codner.

 

[maffew]

Mark McCammon and rightly so.

never saw that one coming

 

[Seagull's Return]

Without doubt the most naturally untalented player to ever wear the stripes.

Whatever you think about Peter Smith, this particular honour must SURELY go to that complete arse, Ashley Neale. So horribly untalented I can't bring myself to smile at his grotesque attempts to impersonate a footballer even now.
