Wardy can sit in a deckchair on the halfway line if he likes,so long as he's in the stripes again.But I bet he scores,and Smithy will have a shot.Gonna be staged like the Harlem Globetrotters,and I'm gonna love every minute of it.Might even stay for the Reading game.

How can I get his autograph tomorrow.

I'd love his signature on my Peter Ward - Albion Legend t-shirt

Please, please tell me

He shot, he scored...

Peter Ward had the ability to raise the noise levels of the crowd who anticipation could be almost felt..................only two other players i have seen had this ability...Kevin Keegan and the one and only George Best. Ward had a touch of magic it could be said,.....yes Brighton Legend:ascarf:

Same as that, Even my daughters (aged 9 & 6) are looking forward to the legends game, I think their a bit bemused by the old man thinking he's a teenager again wandering around the house singing "go left, go left go left right left"!!

looking forward to singing "He shot he scored it must be Peter Ward" at a game for the first time in 25 years too - you just know he's going to put one away

I think wardy was the only player I have seen in a Brighton shirt who I would actually pay good money to watch.

I remember one game, I think it was Preston, where he picked the ball up outside the centre circle and you just knew he was going to score...he weaved his way past three players and buried it in the bottom corner of teh North goal...sheer brilliance

Good as BZ was and he was very very good he never thrilled me like Wardy did. If that sounds like a dumb thing to say I understand why you'd think it but he was the most exciting player I have ever seen live. Well pissed off I won't get to see him again

This for me is very high on the list of "very pissed off I'm missing it" games.
I wish I was there & I think it'll be a great night.
Peter Ward was the real deal. You just knew when he ran at defenders it would finish with either a goal or if he got into the box, a penalty.....which Nobby would ram home.
He was the reason Match of the Day were regular visitors in the old Division 3 days; he was box office.

Is there a full list of who's playing available anywhere?
