Leon Knight admits he was ''absolutely delighted'' to see old club Brighton relegated this week - and has no regrets about joining Swansea City.
Plenty of footballers have watched on with glee as former sides have struggled, it is just not many confess to doing so in public. But Knight is different - an enigmatic character who has no qualms about shooting from the hip.
''It was terrific to see Brighton go down,'' says the diminutive frontman, who had a much-publicised falling out with Seagulls boss Mark McGhee before his cut-price move to Swansea.

''I was absolutely delighted that they got relegated. You cannot understand how happy I was.
''But I don't want to be playing them next season. Hopefully, we can leapfrog them as they come down.''
