Half time guest at Liverpool game

[Monkey Man]

Jimmy Case or Mark Lawrenson? Who'd get the best reception?

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Case

 

[Arthur]

You mean Ex Liverpool and Preston Mark Lawrenson?

Although I'm sure now we are doing well he'll probably slip in that he played for us once.

 

[Tux the albion Penguin]

Case for sure. Lawrenson pretty much denies ever playing for us.

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Case all day. Lawrenson seems to gloss over any mention of playing for us, almost as though he's embrassed about it. Although as Arthur says, now we are a club with ambition and on the up he'd no doubt shoe-horn a mention that he played for us any chance he gets.

Case will get the best reception, easy. More people at the game would have seen case play at the Goldstone - I've got some great memories!
& +1 Lawrenson never mentions the Albion - sad really, maybe now we're getting some attention he'll pipe up? - good or bad?

Dean Saunders?

Michael Robinson?

Robinson would be perfect - played for both clubs, and with his 'Spanish Jeff Stelling' head on, can fill us all in about our new superstar.

Jimmy every time, Lawro once said on radio that he only knew of one ALBION and that was WBA

 

[Seagull Steve]

Case every time for me, I can still remember the day he signed for us, I was stunned for a while. Lawro on the other hand, as has been said above, seems embarrassed about playing in the blue and white stripes.

He's in denial about his time in Brighton. And not just about the football bits.

 

[Alan P]

What about David Fairclough - Super sub!?

 

[matt]

Ashley Neal.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Dean Saunders?

Michael Robinson?

Robinson would be perfect - played for both clubs, and with his 'Spanish Jeff Stelling' head on, can fill us all in about our new superstar.

I'd love to see Michael Robinson there, suspect it will be Jimmy Case though. Lawrenson was there for Football Focus at the Donny game.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Definitely Jimmy Case.

He was always one of those players you loved to hate.....until he signed for us & then he was the best thing since sliced bread.
Gave us some great memories, too.

 

[Giraffe]

Case or Robinson would be great. Only problem with Case will be he may not hear the questions!

 

[DumLum]

Case. See Above.

Robinson & Saunders would be very welcome too.

Lawrenson doesn't deny playing for us. He goes on about Preston as it's his home town (nothing wrong with supporting your local team...) and after he left us he went on to play for arguably the best club team in Europe and won a load of medals. Some people are way too sensitive on here.

Case and Lawrenson were both brilliant for us (we won't mention Case's management time). I'd like them both to be there.

Where has this myth about Lawrenson disowning Brighton come from. I've heard him many times mention his time here and speak fondly of the team then. He has also admitted supporting Preston (which is fair enough, they're his home team) but that's not the same as being anti-Brighton.

 

[Simster]

*sigh*

I'm pretty sure this Lawro denial thing is absolute bollocks. PNE were his local team, Liverpool were champions of Europe and the latter day equivalent of Man Utd in terms of domination. If he waxes lyrical about either, I think that's forgiveable. I don't think he has anything negative to say about his time at the Albion, so he's alright with me.


Edit: Gwylan beat me to it.

In fairness to Lawro he was very disappointed when he left us as he didnt want to go to Liverpool he had set his heart on Man Utd but Mike Bamber thought otherwise.

He had a pub near Moreton in The Marsh and had a variety of his football shirts on display from Liverpool mainly, Eire, Preston and Brighton so he is not anti Brighton.
