[Albion] Semi-legendary players who will surely get forgotten over time, but deserve a shout for doing their bit

[Simster]

Mark Beeney. Quality keeper and his transfer saved the club.

How Shots stopper Mark Beeney’s move saved the Albion

MARK BEENEY has coached young goalkeepers at Chelsea for nearly 20 years, but Brighton fans who saw him play remember his most important ever save. The proceeds from his sale to Leeds United for £3…

Often wonder where we would be as a club if Gary Hart and Owusu hadn’t formed that lethal combination that somehow saved us from what seemed like inevitable relegation.View attachment 165338

Its hard to gage distance/depth perspective in photos sometimes, but Cox is actually standing right next to Owusu there.

Stockdale.
Kayal.
Baldock.

 

[BBassic]

Ashley Barnes.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

The Former Dutch Marine.

Adam El-Abd.

Adam “you’re not through yet, Swindon Town fans” Virgo.

And a personal favourite…Paul Brooker. Probably weighed no more than 60kgs soaking wet.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Fred Binney.

Kish.

Another vote for Radostin Kishishev, such an important player for us that season !

Brooker is an excellent shout and is probably quite underrated in general. He was the main creative player in two championship winning sides in what was otherwise primarily a team of very good grafters (and Zamora). He was also one of our better players in the second tier and looked very comfortable in that division. Was always a bit surprised that he didn't kick on after leaving us but I think a move to another Championship/Divison 1 team would have been a better move than Premier League Leicester where he rarely played

If Craig Maskell hadn’t of had that shot….

Maskell was involved in every goal in our last 4 games that season. Selling a dummy at Cambridge, and then sitting on the Donnie keeper.

 

[Seagull's Return]

Denny Mundy, if only for clapping behind his back at the protest chanting from the North Stand.

 

[Mellotron]

Kish.

Great shout - always felt reassured when he was in the side.

 

[portlock seagull]

Paul Watson.
Rodney Thomas.
Perry Digweed, for saving Chris Ki however you spell his name penalty before Wendy scored THAT goal.
Dean Wilkins actually, he’s probably more AlbionnLegend full stop camp though

Gerry Ryan - my favourite player in the day.
Not forgotten.

He sold me my first pint as an 18 year old. He and his wife ran the Witch Inn in Lindfield for many years after his retirement from football.

A timely post on the Albion website this week.

Hans Kraay made such an amazing impact in just 23 games.

Brilliant player for us. Always wore a nice coat.
Remember Swindon fans being up in arms because it was a sideways move and thier owner had more money than Tony.

Reckon that's the best sideways move in the history of football!

Guy Butters.

Someone even tried to sell him on eBay once.

Plus he used to post on NSC late at night pissed up
