One of our own

[Harry H]

Wes fogden played and was a fan

So were lots of locals who never made it,

I think he only didn't make it was because he spent a lot of time in a full body cast after a health issue. Came just as he started getting games.

Beram Kayal often seen walking around Glasgow in an Albion shirt as a lad !

Junior McDougald. Saw him in the full Albion kit at the marina a few weeks back.

That depends on what you call making it. He did play for the Albion, was released & then later signed for Bournemouth. He's still on Pompey's books although unfortunately has a knee injury. He is a League player.

Man Utd but also supports Brighton. He has been to our matches since joining Orient.

Just respects the club that's all. Ulloa, Hart, Bennett, Zamora etc all have watched Albion doesn't make "one of our own"

I think you'll find it is a little more than respect.

Glen Geard?

Does Calde not qualify for honorary "one of our own" status. True, the nationality thing, and the previous clubs thing may disqualify, but I have utterly no doubt in my mind that that man bleeds blue and white, pees pure Harvey's best and craps out ornamental seagulls. The day he retires I'll be a heartbroken man, but I can still see him linked with the Albion for years to come in some capacity or another

You often hear about players being "one of our own."

Which locals that have played for the Albion are/were actually Brighton fans? Ian Chapman? Can't think of any others immediately.

Leonardo Ulloa

Solly March

I've always thought the 'He's one of our own' song should be sung about Solly March

 

[carlzeiss]

I can recall standing close to the dugout at a Whitehawk County League game when then manager Ian Chapman asked if anyone knew the West Ham score .

Gary Hart is from Essex & a Spurs fan.

Seen him at the Amex a good few times with his daughter
