[Albion] Shortest Albion careers. One game wonders!

[big nuts]

Ben Andrews? Pretty sure he got sent off away at Carlisle and that was about it.

Away at Cardiff. He played a few more times for us as I recall.

 

[mooey]

I ve got Matt Heaths shirt at home the away one yellow and blue

2 Appearances, Highly rated but injury prone, was first team squad player under Horton & Adams before retiring through injury.

McArthur played 3 games

If I remember rightly that was away to Halifax, went to catch the ball and went straight through his hands into the goal!

Interesting thread, but...

What wouldn't any of us give to be involved on the pitch, even for a few minutes? You all dream of it, don't you?

 

[Rogero]

How many appearances did Abdul Razak make?

I thought he looked great but he has faded away.

Absolutely not, it's the sort of thing that gives me nightmares.

Great thread!

Think he played more than 1 game but the other lad from Man City, Gai Assulin

Mark Wright (Winger)
Torbjørn Agdestein (Striker) dont think he played many

 

[JACKRUSSELL]

Another GK Tony Meola 1990. He may of played a couple of games.

Correct, 2.

How about Gavin Geddes? I went to school with him and I'm sure I watched him play at the Goldstone (although it might have been a reserve game I suppose), he might have even scored. At a guess it would have been around 1994 ...

I'm sure he played more than one game. I saw him play at Bournemouth when we got well beaten

Never played a first team game, as far as I recall.

He DID play in a kick about with me and my brothers though, in the hockey goal at Blatch Mill, when he was about 14, until the caretaker slung us off. I caught him right on the shin - accidentally of course - and he had a MASSIVE lump spring up in about 30 seconds.

Sorry Gavin, if you're reading

James Virgo: and he scored!
Current Bristol City manager: Lee Johnson. Who also scored (though, I think, only in a penalty shootout)
Geoff Pitcher: one game, one penalty, goodbye.

Don't score on your debut.

Geoff Pitcher played 10 games

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

How about the Orient v Brighton match (Russell Slade's first ever game) for a whole host of one-game players.

Gary Borrowdale? Andersen in goal? Did Matt Heath play many games?

shit the bed that is an awful line up

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

Packham made bad mistake in i think only game, Fenelon Looked terrible in first and only game of season

nah Packham played a couple of games- Preston at home was his home debut where he made a poor error

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

2 more keepers:

Michael Poke
Mitch Walker

yeh they must be. Gus gave Walker his debut in the final game of the season in his first season I think- at home to someone. As for Poke, wiki says he played 0 games but I'm sure he played in a cup game that we lost

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

No idea what happened to our loan keeper next .

he had a fairly respectable career in the States and earned himself 10 caps for the USMNT. Also played a fair bit for QPR including in the Prem (only remember that as I was really excited as in the premier league sticker album that year it had Brighton in his career history which was very rare for a premier league player at the time)

No. Admittedly by the mere fact they represented the Albion all (or very nearly all) of the people mentioned on this thread are better than 99% of can ever dream to be, but I really wouldn't wanted to be remembered as a figure of fun. If I'd had that level of ability I'd rather have been a top non-league player at somewhere like Worthing and be remembered fondly as opposed to being thought of as a 'failed pro'.

Poke definitely played at Northampton in a LC game. We lost 2-0 (I think one goal was his howler), Navarro (I think?) suffered a long term injury, Sparrow got a straight red, and I remember thinking how shit the season was going to be.

(we pissed the league, of course)
