Top Row: Graham (Jack) Pearce, Martin Keown & Gary O'Reilly (O'Blimey).
Middle Row: Hans Kraay, Gary O'Reilly & Alan Biley.
Last Row: Gary O'Reilly, Paul Dickov & Graham Pearce.

To Rool re Hove born&bred's post. No. You're right and he is wrong. It's Paul Dickov when he was on loan to us. The tears were streaming down his face when the rest of the players gave him a surprise going away present in the Players' Lounge, after his last game for us.

That's a really good call. Except of course Paul Dickov would have been 14 at this time. Perhaps it's Tommy Fraser.

It's not Paul Dickov, those pics are from 85-86 when Paul Dickov would have been about 15

He played for us about 8 years later when Liam Brady was manager I believe
This. Paul Dickov was born in 1972, so unless he played in the Albion first team at the age of 13/14, it's not him I'm afraid

No: 2 top row really looks like Frank Stapleton who played on loan for us in 84/85 season.
He played just 2 games for us.

I've just scanned some pictures for the Seagulls TV website as I am gradually putting together a section on 1983-91 that will include player profiles, videos and results.

Could you help me to name the players here, from 1984/85 and 1985/86?

3. Gavin Oliver or Gary O'Reilly?

Middle row
1.
2. Gary O'Reilly or Martin Keown?
3. Chris Hutchings or Alan Biley?

Bottom row
1. Gavin Oliver or Gary O'Reilly?
2.
3.

Incidently, here's a picture of Gavin Oliver... Are any of the above pictures of him?

I'm 90% sure the bottom middle is Gavin Oliver (don't think the bottom black and white photo is Gavin Oliver - could be wrong though)

Bottom middle is definitely Steve Penny. I just asked him to have a look and he said it is.

And he is an optician!!

IMO HB&B is spot on with all of them, definetly Keown top middle and cant think of anyone else but Steve Penney for bottom middle.

Bottom middle is from 1985/6 from shirt design and sponsor but it sure don't look like any of the players who played first team that season. I think I'd guess on it being Gavin Oliver.
