Best Brighton player you have seen play in each position?

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

tom
lawrenson
vicente
ward or zamora sorry cant split?

 

[BensGrandad]

How did it happen? Why did he go to a Div 4 club?

It was rumoured that he had serious gambling debts and they were paid up by George Gunn when he signed for us.

My choice

Eric Gill
Mark Lawrenson
Barry Rees but only for a short while ufortunately so probably Nobby Norton
Peter Ward

 

[TheDuke]

A) Mr Piggy
B) Lawro
C Nobby
D) No doubt...Wardy but if Leo stays... he's very close to being the best natural striker...luv 'im

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Moseley
Lawrenson
Horton
Worthington

Who is the best Albion...

A) Goalie
B) Defender
C Midfielder
D) Striker

...that you have seen play live?

For me, would be Tomasz Kuszczak or Ben Roberts in goal; Matthew Upson in defence; Steve Sidwell, Vicente or Liam Bridcutt in midfield and either Glenn Murray or Bobby Zamora in aOTE]

Ah yes it must be time for the seasonal 'best team, best player etc' threads.

a) Kuszchak (with Roberts or Grummitt not far behind)
b) Lawrenson (ultimately untouchable but would acknowledge Stevens, Foster and Upson are up there)
c) Vicente (not entirely happy with this choice, largely based on his cameo performances, maybe a luxury player)
d) Ward (again there are a few rivals but his consistent ability to score so many goals from unlikely situations and that special 'x' factor clinches it)

Add a ball winning midfielder to the above and that would be a heck of a 5-a-side team.

Other nominees for the midfield: Horton, Wilson, Mortimer, Curbishley, Sidwell etc all great players and similar in style, but dare I suggest they are water carriers compared to Vicente

Other nominees in the Striker category: Beamish, Binney, Nelson, Nogan, Zamora.

Ball winning midfielder has to be Barry Rees...

Bobby did indeed have gambling debts which George Gunn covered if he signed. I used to work as doorman on a Casino ...Bobby came in quite often on his own and sat playing for a few hours.

 

[m20gull]

Peter Grummitt
Mark Lawrenson
Brian Horton
Peter Ward.

Showing my age, I like this list.

 

[SouthCoastOwl]

PIG - Graham Moseley close second

Lawrenson - no defender past or present comes close

Vincente - honourable mentions to Horton and, for sheer entertainment value, Gerry Ryan

Ward - if Ulloa stays he could be the one to take Wardy's crown, only time will tell. We'll never really know how good Frank Worthington was because the rest of the side at the time just weren't in his league and couldn't read his game.

 

[The Birdman]

Brain Powney (Seaford )
John Napier
Bobby Smith(ex spurs)
Alex Dawson ( ex man Utd )

 

[pasty]

Tomas in goal
Mark Lawrenson in defence
Vicente in midfield
Peter Ward up front.

Them.

Pretty much my pick too, nostalgia and the sheer newsworthiness at the time makes me want Bobby Smith (striker) there. I remember going into school next day and had my evening argus with me with headlines...its was massive at time

DefMid - The REAL Tank (Clarkie bites your legs off!!!)
