It is the same Russell Martin, and he does have some beef with Albion, but it doesn't stem from his time as a youth. Something to do with his academy/foundation and AITC I think. At one time he and the club worked together on stuff.I might have this wrong in which case apologies to Russell Martin, but isn't this the same Russell Martin who didn't make it with Brighton's youth academy? Sounds a bit like a long held grudge against the Albion saying ' If you are going to say you are leaving for first-team minutes or you are frustrated, don't go to Brighton.” Sounds more like he is still resentful of his departure from the club and the comment relates as much to his own experience with the club decades ago.
