Would you pick Stevie Gritt for doing the impossible, Micky Adams mark 1 for all the improbable success he brought or Russell Slade for just being a bloody nice bloke? Mullery for taking us all the way to the top? Melia for the cup final run? Then there's Poyet who brought about a revolution in the way we fans expect our team to play...and where does Chris Hughton sit in your all-time list?
Mine has to be Wendy Wilkins, what with him being an ex-player and taking a bunch of Sussex lads and getting them to 7th in League One. I think in one Paint Pot Trophy game we had 8 or 9 homegrown players on the pitch at one time. At a time when the football was often dire, it gave me something to be very proud of and it made it a little bit easier ensuring my sons remained Brighton fans when occasionally they would bump into their heroes in town.
