[Albion] Knocky Retires

[Van Cleef]

The stars aligned in that promotion season and Knocky was absolutely unplayable. That's a classy goodbye from a player who always wore his heart on his sleeve.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

2 seasons of magic , one of our best ever signings and played a massive part in our promotion. All the best to him for the future.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Surprising news. Only 32 and played a fair bit last season.
Simply a great player for us. In some ways a prototype to Mitoma.

 

[Surrey Phil]

Knocky’s spectacular winning goal at Palace ranks as one of my most favourite goals of all time! #class

 

[Invicta]

Top player, one of my favourite ever and definately of the Amex era. Best wishes to him.

 

[Rookie]

A genuine gets you out the seat player, just a top top player

 

[GrossTurn]

Our best player during the promotion season and voted the best player in the division. Without even needing to mention the pure entertainment he brought on the pitch, if that doesn’t write your name into the club’s folklore, not much will.

 

[joydivisionovengloves]

One of the best ever in the stripes. Good luck to him in the future.

 

[stewart12]

absolutely electric in our promotion season, and whilst he wasn't as effective, a big part of us staying up in our first season in the PL (slightly less influential the next year, despite his wonder goal against Palace)

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Class act on the pitch and a very touching announcement (including thanking God ex-wife!) from an emotional and fantastic guy. He clearly loves the Albion and the feeling is very much mutual.

Legend.

 

[doogie004]

Thanx for the memories

 

[POSKETT AT THE VALLEY]

My Mrs describes him as French but looks a typical Brighton boy. He played a big part in our rise to the prem. His goal at Palace was one of the best.

 

[Munkfish]

Absolutely incredible in his time with us. Loved him as a player. Those championship seasons were amazing.

So young to retire. But if his heads not in it then best for him and any future clubs paying his way.

Remember when he turned up at Stamford bridge to watch us play after he left.

 

[Baldseagull]

Thank you for the memories Knocky.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Knocky leaving full backs sat on their arse was the Gross turn of those days.

 

[A1X]

Few Brighton players have ever got me out of my seat as regularly and as readily as Prime Knocky did, the man was extraordinary and did extraordinary things for us

 

[ManOfSussex]

One of my favourite all time Albion memories is sat on the luggage/suitcase rack by the doors on a Southern Rail train heading north out of Falmer singing the 'We've got Knockaert!' song the night we beat Massive, aka Sheffield Wednesday, that Friday night in the promotion year when he scored the winner.

Bon chance et merci beaucoup le petit
magicien.

 

[Justice]

And to think the Brummie binned him off without a second thought.

 

[Zeberdi]

Mille merci

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

His performances in the promotion season are, pound for pound, some of the very best ever by a Brighton player. I don’t think anyone has got me off my seat as much as Knocky did.

Enjoy retirement Knocky and I hope whatever is next for you brings you joy and success. You’ll always be welcome at the Amex.
