Yaser Kasim was another ex Spur that Brighton signed, played once....
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.:
Never played a first team game, as far as I recall.
I have almost no recollection of that game or half our players even though I was there.
12 games - one goal

In looking up Franco Massimo (who made 2 substitute appearances, so I saw half of his Albion career), I found Daren Newman who was an apprentice at the same time. Played once in a 2-0 home defeat to the mighty Shrewsbury Town in 1986 or 87. I suspect I saw his entire Albion career, but cannot recall it. Sorry Daren.
With mates from Hove Park, I used to go to all of the reserve games at that time - always played at the Goldstone, £1 to get in the West Stand, including your team sheet. Massimo, David Gipp, Newman, Ian Muir, etc. Some talent in that side. Newman was genuinely quite a decent centre back and really should have made some first team appearances. I believe there were ATTITUDE issues.
Hans IYHO was David Gipp treated unfairly by Barry Lloyd or was he just not good enough, an overhyped reserve?
