First player for Brighton who was younger than you?

[CP 0 3 BHA]

I was going to say Gary Stevens but a quick bit of research reveals that he's actually a few months older than me!

Another Gary Stevens. This thread helped me get date of births. http://www.worldfootball.net/teams/brighton-hove-albion/1980/2/

Mark Lawrenson , same year of birth but he`s five months younger !!!!!

Gary Williams

Looks like it was Sam Gargan.

He made his Football League and Brighton debut on 26 April 2008, coming on as an 85th-minute substitute for Glenn Murray during the 2-0 away victory over Bristol Rovers at the Memorial Stadium (from wiki)

From looking at your profile you're only two weeks older than me. In which case, it's probably Sam Gargan for me, too.

I suspect it was Jake Robinson.

But in general it was Wayne Rooney that blew my mind. He is only a month younger than me.

Thought it was JFC but it's Solly

 

[Mr H]

Howard Wilkinson

 

[Puppet Master]

Jake Robinson

Wilf Tranter for me, signed from Man U 1966

The worry starts when Brighton managers are younger than you. The first one for me was Steve Gritt and all the managers since Coppell have been younger than me ... and there'll never be another one older

Barry Lloyd was the first younger manager than me.

Possibly Tony Vessey but not sure on his date of birth.

JFC having to get signed off from school to play in his first game at the Withdean. Think I was 19 at the time watching an Albion player that hadnt taken his GSCEs!

 

[Keith Patel]

Steve Cook against Man City.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Probably Giles Stille, I reckon

 

[Gritt23]

Not 100% sure, but the first time I noticed, was when Derek McGrath came off the bench at Anfield in the 1991 Cup tie.

Peter O'Sullivan - 4 days younger than me - and still one of my all-time favourites. Saw his debut under Pat Saward.
