Brightons greatest ever youth product?

[Skidmarks]

I'm going to have to say Gareth Barry, Garry nelson and Jamie Strong.

 

[Johnny Crumplin Football]

Garry Nelson was not a youth product, not at Brighton at least. He joined us from Plymouth didn't he?

 

[Jam The Man]

Don't want to bite the bait, but surely all the above mentioned are a wind up!?
Barry - barely wore a Brighton shirt even in the youth teams
Nelse - well into his mid twenties having been at 2 or 3 clubs before us
Strong - who knows?.. Hasn't done a thing yet...

Try again...

Ian Chapman
Kerry Mayo
Any number of players from yesteryear...

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

It is a bit sad really to think Barry is the only one who has really made it to the big time from our youth set up.When you compare it to the likes of Crewe.

 

[Harley S]

Jamie Strong who ?? !!!

 

[jharris]

Dean Hammond ?

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

depends on whether you count barry or not really

 

[Mendoza]

£1.5million says it has to be Adam Virgo

 

[ali jenkins]

You cant really count Barry as coming from our youth set-up!

At the time the coaching staff thaught he was SHIT and only a make-weight for the Standing deal!

Id go for Hammond or Virgo in recent times.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

for me it's either danny marney or shaun wilkinson

 

[wellquickwoody]

Katie Price!

 

[Mendoza]

for me it's either danny marney or shaun wilkinson

to be fair, I think you're being extremely harsh on Duncan McArthur

Is the right answer... what a silly thread

Mayo

Now who's on the wind up?

 

[Jam The Man]

Mayo

Now who's on the wind up?

It terms of number of games i would say the investment justifies the choice. Most appearances in the modern era etc.
I never said I thought he was particularly talented did I?

People on here rave abouit Gary Chivers but, much like Mayo, he couldn't pass for toffee...

 

[Gritt23]

David Gipp, surely. Go-go Gadget neck!

 

[logan89]

Surely has to be Barry, as he is the best player to come out our youth setup. Regardless of whether he was good when he left or not, the fact remains that he is now an England international, and starts every game, and that he came through our youth system.

Whoever said Mayo really is taking the piss surely, best player doesn't mean who's played the most games for us.

 

[Gritt23]

Not to mention the best chant that never got the airing it should have done.

Dineen, Dineen, Di-neen-neen-neen,
Dineen, Dineen, Di-neen-neen-neen,
Dineen, Dineen, Di-neen-neen-neen,

Jaaack Dineen.

 

[keaton]

Not sure exactly how much of a youth product he was but Gary Stevens?
He definetely started his career with us

 

[BensGrandad]

Gary Stevens started at Ipswich and was rejected by them, Sir Bobby Robson I believe, and we picked him up as a youngster.
