[Is it PotG?]

Never had the pleasure of seeing him play, pretty good apparently.

One of my first favourite Albion players. Bertolini, Jennings, Burtenshaw - what a half back line that was! RIP Jack Berolini.

How pro sport has changed. He played 190 consecutive games for Albion. In cricket Ken Suttle played over 400 consecutive games for Sussex

Googling Jack Bertolini, I came across this link - OK, it's about Liverpool primarily, but if you follow some of the links at the bottom, there is some fantastic historical trivia - a wonderful nostalgic website! (with enough Brighton titbits to make it interesting).
For instance, 44 years ago yesterday., Lawrenson signed for the Albion.

Well, I enjoyed poking around in it anyway.
