The legends on Saturday

[Arthur]

I appreciate that Knight scored the goal at the Play Off final but can't see how he can be considered a legend.

Not disagreeing with but you could say the same about Reinelt. He scored arguably the most important goal in this clubs history but didn't do a great deal else.

Not sure who of these turned up but most, if not all of them were on the guest list. Like someone said, busy time for those still involved in footy.

 

[goldstone]

who actually WAS there?

i cannot believe that they wouldn't have invited reinelt - you can stick him in that bracket of people who we wouldn't have a stadium

I'll probably need some help with this, but names I can remember:

Gary Hart, Gordon Smith, Michel Kuipers, Stuart Storer, Peter Ward, Mark McGhee, Barry Lloyd,

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What NSC thought a year ago ...

Special Guests to invite to the first game at Falmer

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I'll probably need some help with this, but names I can remember:

Gary Hart, Gordon Smith, Michel Kuipers, Stuart Storer, Peter Ward, Mark McGhee, Barry Lloyd,

Chris Cattlin, DEAN WHITE!, Gary Hobson. Possibly Bob Booker as well but not sure on that one.

dean white - fantastic

they MUST have invited reinelt in that case - i cant believe a man who played the key role of carting about an oversized tactics board and screaming inaudible nonsense down a phone while looking like a total plebian in the technical area would receive one but not the guy who scored the goal that kept the club in existence

Garry Nelson was invited I believe so shame he couldn't make it. As someone else mentioned, I think his main affiliation is really with Charlton these days although he's fond of the Albion obviously.

 

[Gwylan]

Like to see some people from the promotion-winning side of 57-58 at the Amex at some point. I believe Adrian Thorne is still alive but there must be some more around.

 

[Storer 68]

I also was surprised Mullery & gary Stevens, both who live not too far away, were not there, as well as Coppel and Horton, who have always supported our efforts

From more recent times, how about Salde? he would have got a fine reception, as would Steve Gritt.

Oh and wouldn't it have been nice to bring on Archer, bellotti & Stanley!!!!

Gary Stevens, as anyone reading the programme would know, is now the assistant manager to Tony Adams for the Azarbajan national team

 

[Deano's Invisible Pants]

Booker and White, presumably, were invited as the most obvious contituents of the disenfranchised Withdean era - the guys who didn't quite make it to Falmer. They are not Brighton legends, but I think this was a smart piece of diplomacy by the club and a nice touch.

Who knows who received or refused invitations, but I would have liked to have seen a series of parades, 1 from each of our 'star' teams of the past. Particularly disappointing not to see greats like Mullery, Horton, Foster, Nelson, Case, Wilson, Byrne, Liam Brady, Glen Thomas, Mahoney Johnson etc

 

[Danny-Boy]

Not disagreeing with but you could say the same about Reinelt. He scored arguably the most important goal in this clubs history but didn't do a great deal else.

The invitation went to someone called Reibelt...

 

[Waterhall Wizard]

Scotty, sarcasm is the lowest for of wit. In fact, if wit were shit you would be constipated. Your comments are born out of ignorance.

I have enlightened you before as to the worth of Dean White to this club. He was immense, and made a tremendous contribution to the signing of most of the star names brought to the Albion during his time here. At the club he was known as Tonto, because of his scouting abilities.

Spoke to Stuart Storer on Saturday and he said that Robbie Reinelt was invited but was playing!
Also, Gary Williams, Tony Towner and a few other ex-players were there but didn't get invited on
to the pitch. Maybe it was a time thing?

... or perhaps they were invited on, but the PA was not working when their name was called out!
