Kemy, or the player he'd eaten

Remember he scored 4 in a game against Newcastle one midweek game at the Goldstone. Not sure if scored many more after that for us

Home debut 4 goals and Codner unselfishlygave him thr hattrick goal. Think wade scored again away the following week and just seemed to vanish

This, I was envious of Brighton having Ince, thought he was going to be a top top player, definitely well regarded by Derby fans.



But not this, I thought he was weirdly overrated, perhaps because at the time Brighton didn't have too many young prospects? I remember well being told by one poster how much better than Will Hughes he was.....

JFC - I think we were keen for a homegrown forward/creator to make it. Seen through blue and white tinted lenses. In reality he may’ve only produced one or two outstanding performances.

Jonny Dixon / Geoff Pitcher

Abdul Razak.

Anyone who saw him against Ipswich will never forget how good he was that day. Could've been the next Yaya Toure but plays in the Swedish Second Division now!

Good call. He was AMAZING that day

10 seconds into his debut



Then just 5 more appearances, no more goals, loaded out a couple of times, and never heard of again.

“never heard of again” isn’t strictly true as he pops up in football articles from time to time due to a successful post-football law career and that he is the CEO of La Liga team Mallorca.

Anyone remember Jason Peake?

 

[Soton Seagull]

John Piercy. Spurs reserves captain and dropped down to our level to get some football. He peaked with us, and it wasn't great!

Anyone remember Jason Peake?

THAT goal against Northampton! Absolute hero!

Will Buckley

On his day, the best winger in the Championship. Unfortunately his legs were made of glass and he had his head turned by Gus at Sunderland and it all really didn't go well from there, did it?

Whatever happened to JFC?

Steve Jacobs...

The skinny crop haired Irish winger (?) we had around 2005 who ran around like a headless chicken...name help needed please

Nicky Rust

I always thought Steve Penney could have gone further but always got broken, fudge knees.

yes he looked world class that day.

Paddy Mccourt had amazing skill.

He played well in the playoffs & the final at the Millennium. Unfortunately Chrohn’s disease finished his career.

Quite a few players mentioned in this thread had medical problems, physical and mental.

He was absolutely class that game, never understood how he could be that good for one game

He is doing well in Örgryte now.

Maybe he should return to Brighton. Potter sold a player to the PL when he was at ÖFK. Brighton signed Gyökeres and Gwargis from the Swedish second division. It all adds up.
