Franki was lovely, no airs or graces, and quite happy to sit with us away fans instead of the WAGS section.

Fond memories of him bombing down the wing

The most curious thing..
At tbe time Bridge and Upton were tbe best defenders we had had at Brighton for DECADES.

They were way better than everyone else in that team.

I spoke to him on a train once, was actually really engaged in conversation with me and a mate, which I was impressed by considering how drunk we were, nice chap. Told me he regretted going to Reading and should have stayed.
Is there any Albion player, current or former, who you haven't met on a train whilst pissed? :shrug:

:lol:

One of the best LB I have seen playing in the Championship at the time. Obviously his class was there to see as a loan City player. I seem to recall one game in particular him bombing down that left wing at the Amex to cross in a ball that I thought was going out and assisting a goal in the south stand end? If anyone can find a clip I would be thankful as I don't trust my memory !

Unbelievable left back for us, he completely re-defined what was possible to expect from a left back. Arguably, he wasn't replaced properly until Cucurella came in and only really Pervis is a better all round player than Bridge was in his pomp. What a player in that season and a real shame what happened afterwards.

Top bloke and brave 👏
Exactly. I just feel for his family and friends as he has had to undergo this intrusive surgery. It’s only when those we love most experience the most profound medical procedures that we get a perspective of the fragility and value of human life. They must have been to hell and back worrying that poor Wayne might never regain the poise and fullness he once had. God bless Wayne and his family and friends.

its £4k now and done in a day, it’s a common procedure these days. Would you say someone is brave for getting a brand new set of teeth? Can’t honestly see the difference.
Some people have a morbid fear of dentists, so, yes, I would say someone is brave for getting their teeth fixed.
