Ex-Brighton players in management - and who did best?

[Peter Grummit]

Andy Ritchie did a decent job at Oldham.

Paul Jewell was on our books but not sure he ever played.

Frank Stapleton managed Bradford in the 80s.

PG

 

[GT49er]

Has he won any top trophies, a couple of promotions but not sure about trophies at the top.

Last English manager to win the league title (1991-92, last season before it changed to the Prem); managed England.

 

[BensGrandad]

Forgot he won the Div 1 title with Leeds.

 

[Mullet of Ken Tiler]

Chris Cattlin surely!

 

[supaseagull]

Number 1: Alan Curbishley

Won nothing and only managed one team with any success.

[Lifelong Supporter]

It has to be David Sexton. Managed right at the top and played well for us. One of the best coaches in the game in his time. Likeable guy too.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

John Gregory held premier roles with Derby and Villa.

oops

 

[Pondicherry]

Agree - we all know that football didn't exist until 1992 and I suspect Gregory has the highest ex brighton / manager finish with sixth with Villa. Therefore Gregory is the correct answer.

Johnny Crumplin ( Football Genius) was manager at Three Bridges for a while until Real Madrid came calling...
Alright I don't actually know what happened to him after that

Ah, but football DID exist before 1992 (and so did some of us!)

Wilkinson (and I think probably Sexton) went higher than sixth - Wilkinson way higher.............

Howard Wilkinson won the league (with Leeds). Dave Sexton didn't - runners-up with QPR and Manchester United were his best league finishes. But he won the FA Cup and then the Cup-Winners' Cup (beating Real Madrid) with Chelsea.

 

[Mowgli37]

Got to be Jimmy Case surely?

 

[atfc village]

I'll join in with Aldershot's greatest .George Raynor played one season for us,then became Reserve team coach.Moved on to lead Sweden to Olympic Gold in 1948 and bronze in 52 and 3rd in the world cup in 1950 and runners up in 58 .Plus Jimmy Melia who was our Player Manager .

 

[jimhigham]

Chris Ramsey's had a good start

 

[Seagulls Downunder]

Bob Houghton got Malmo to The European Cup final in 79 and also managed China, India & Uzbekistan but I'd say Sexton or Wilkinson
