Was speaking to an acquaintance yesterday and he told me Whingy is currently reinventing himself as a holding midfielder at Oxford (Michael Duberry and our own Jake Wright being 2 of the back four). Always loved his no nonsense,true pro. Can't get rid of the image of his ginger bonce sticking out of that hideous turquoise third kit towards the end of Adams 2. Only player in that side who actually looked like he gave a shit. Didn't he get player of the season that year? Oh...and standing with us at Forest the year before. Ledge.

MK Dons away. Only player who looked bothered that day and abusing Craig Davies aside his name was the only one sung in the 2nd half.
Andy Whing is playing in centre midfield? By CHRIST League 2 must be shit!

Duberry, there's a man who could give the Albion a run for their money in the OG stakes.

played a massive part in keeping us in League 1 - sadly my memory of him was marred by his totally inept final performance at Northampton at the start of last season. Felt so sorry for him being overlooked for even a squad place at Villa Park (although it was unquestionably the right decision football-wise) and I'm glad he is doing well. I wondered when he turned down a deal at Chesterfield to go to Oxford whether he had made the right choice but it sounds like he did.

Had the most unique running action I have ever seen.

Didn't he get a perfect hat-trick for them quite recently? 2 og's and then a last minute equaliser in a 2-2 draw. He didn't look massively in the mood for celebrating

His goal-line clearance away at Leeds is the greatest i've ever seen.

The fact Andy Whing got player of the year when we god knows how stayed up in 2009 shows how shit we were that year. When we got beat by Walsall 3-0 away with Livermore giving the most inept full back performance I'v ever seen I was planning trips to Morecombe and Accrington.
Even Lloyd Owusu looked like a world beater in that team.
Brighton:
Andersen, Whing, Heath, El-Abd (Elphick 46), Livermore (Borrowdale 46), Carole (Davies 69), Jarrett, Bangura, Cox, Forster, Owusu.
Subs Not Used: McLeod, Fraser
What a pile of CACK that team is.

Would like to think our current team would smash that by 5 or 6

Thing is, that team had good pedigree. When you looked at former clubs played, I can remember being fairly excited when the influx of loans arrived.

Just serves as a reminder how far Adam El-Abd has come. Hooked after 45 minutes for a rubbish league 1 team already being pasted by Walsall, and now he's just fantastic. Only El-Abd and Elphick remain, it's no suprise.

At that point El Abd already had neary 50 Championship appearances, too.
