At the suggestion of Barry Izbak on the Ian Chapman forum - Who was the first player you saw play for the Albion who was younger than you?

Mine was Ian Chapman - I suspect he will register for quite a lot of people given how young he was when he played. . .

Steve Cook in that random long-throwing cameo v Man City, I think.

Somewhere over there...
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)
