First player for Brighton who was younger than you?

[Trufflehound]

First player , Gary Stevens

Almost certainly this.

First manager , Dean Wilkins

Probably this.

First chairman , Tony Bloom .

This.

 

[Trigger]

Charlie Webb

If this was cricket I would say probably W.G.Grace, but then I'm quite young for my age.

Alright then - Tony Towner.

 

[Luke93]

Jake Forster Caskey for me!

 

[BensGrandad]

Probably John Templeman

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Dean Cox

My best GUESS is John Robinson, who was born 6 months after me in 1971. He made his debut aged 18 in 1989, so unless anyone aged 16 or 17 debuted in 1987 or 1988 it would be him. I can't think of any.

 

[West Hoathly Seagull]

I was 17 when Ian Chapman made his debut.

 

[Eddiespearritt]

Very hard to remember - the longer ago it is, the mists of time blur things a bit - alomst certainly Tony Towner I thought but he's actually older than me. Someone from around 1975-76 I expect.

 

[blue-afro-man]

Franco Massimo. Was in the year below me at school

 

[BigGully]

Probably Giles Stille, I reckon

Wouldnt you have been watching Gary Stevens prior to that ??

 

[Arthritic Toe]

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

Nice one. Turns out for me, its Chris Ramsey who is 3 days younger.

 

[Grassman]

It was chappers. I was 18 and he was 16.
Oscar was the first younger manager

I think we are probably the same age. Chappers for me too!

Looking at the dates, yeah you're right.

 

[Bakero]

Dan Harding maybe.

 

[Worthingite]

Just looked it up- Chris McPhee was a squad player in 99/2000, but I think it was Virg's who actually takes the prize a year later

 

[BigGully]

Looking at the dates, yeah you're right.

Certainly Giles Stille was older than Stevens, however I wasnt sure if perhaps Stille made his debut before Stevens and Stille might still be younger than you .....

 

[Robdinho]

Seems to be Dan Harding

 

[GT49er]

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

I thought it would be Tony Towner or Mickey Conway, but Knocky's link produced an earlier one - Peter O'Sullivan.

Ian Chapman who is three months younger than me, used to go to my school too.

This. Wasn't his debut at the scariest away game ever? Last game of the season at an already relegated Birmingham
