Remove Leon Knight from the "Legends' Wall"?

[Silent Bob]

I dunno. I don't really know what Knight's done to deserve this thread.

If you read the thread or just google Leon Knight then you'll find out (the latest reason).

I'm sorry, but that's crap. How is Kerry Mayo dribbling the ball an iconic moment?

Because it was a one-off?

Stay put great piece of our history and a brilliant season by someone who got close to Wardys scoring record. Fan power can be naff at times. Club can always add more. I like to remember him for his talent not his wasted career.

Gary nelson already has one 100% sure

Correct - Nelse is up there.

Perhaps Palace could burn down Knight for us ?

Isn't Ward's record 35, 36 something like that? 27 isn't so close. I remember it being talked about as a possibility at one point in that season, but he didn't really get near it, the goals dried up as it went on as I recall.

 

[Chris_Highwind]

Probably been said, but if we replace him for a player who was around the same time, surely Kuipers or Gary Hart would be suitable?

 

[Hampster Gull]

Never thought he as a legend in the first place but I am not getting involved in no witch hunt

Are their players between him and Wardy record, i thought Leons was second. I remember it as a good season long campaign with him as the key striker.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Lets just hope it doesn't happen.

 

[DIFFBROOK]

To be honest i was always surprised he was there. He is a disgrace as a man let alone a former Brighton player. Take him down and replace with Gary Hart or Kuipers.

[Uncle Spielberg]

LOL ! Who knows what might happen if Hughes drops him again.

I dunno. I don't really know what Knight's done to deserve this thread. But I'll start you off with 'if Bobby Zamora was to murder a group of people and bury them in the woods, his image should be removed from the legend's wall'

Then I'd be posting a poll:

"Should I change my daughter's middle name from Zamora to something else?"

(seriously)

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Ok I've looked and changed my mind. He is a deluded tosser, and dangerously bonkers - get rid (can someone reverse my "keep him" vote?).

He's got a new job

Never liked him when he was here and like him even less now. Doesn't deserve to be there !

All league and cup matches.

1. 36 - Peter Ward - 1976-77
2. 35 - Arthur Attwood - 1932-33
3. 32 - Hugh Vallance - 1929-30
3. 32 - Garry Nelson - 1987-88
5. 31 - Bobby Zamora - 2000-01
5. 31 - Bobby Zamora - 2001-02
7. 29 - Arthur Attwood - 1931-32
8. 28 - Tommy Cook - 1923-24
8. 28 - Bernard Moore - 1945-46
8. 28 - Albert Mundy - 1955-56
8. 28 - Kit Napier - 1967-68
12. 27 - Sam Jennings - 1926-27
12. 27 - Alec Law - 1935-36
12. 27 - Peter Harburn - 1955-56
12. 27 - Fred Binney - 1975-76
12. 27 - Leon Knight - 2003-4

All of these, with the exception of Bobby Zamora in 2000-01, were in Division 3.

Our highest ever goalscorer for one season in the top two divisions was Bill Curry with 26 (23+3) in 1959-60.

Speak for yourself.

 

[Brightonfan1983]

wtf - you really comparing Leon Knight with a convicted peodo - NSC gold FFS.

An attempted comparison. Granted, not quite up to scratch.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Speak for yourself.

I always do. But really, I don't like the guy or approve of what he did the other day on Twitter, but I don't see why that should detract from his 27 goal season 8 years ago.

If we're going to be consistent, if Dean Hammond can be forgiven for what he did three years ago, then the Leon Knight of 2004 can be forgiven for what he did eight years in the future.
