Surely you have by now realized that it is no one who has played for the club this millennium?

I think the longest we have spent consecutively in tier two is four seasons. 1983-1992 we only had one season out though, so I can see why many are from there.
The person who guessed Peter O'Sullivan is pretty smart as I think some of his appearances would have come from that single season in the early seventies before the two seasons at the end.

And with Sully, he was first choice and virtually injury free. Very good going to get to his total in three seasons.

Interesting stats. I would say that nearly all of this 15 found their natural level in the second tier. Danny Wilson and possibly Terry Connor, arguably borderline top flight players. Johnny 'Football Genius' Crumplin did exceptionally well to compete at that level - in different times would have been 3rd tier at best.

Looks like either el abd or Greer will make top 15 by season's end plus Bridcutt & Barnes if they stay

I'm really looking forward to the next Seagulls! The Story...
We've missed out on possibly the most exciting two decades of our history.

Tim Carder's got enough on his plate. Maybe we could write it as an NSC project - if we take a season each!
Mr Bertolini, well done him! Wish I knew as much about him as others on here.

See post 2.
What I meant was 'players whose number of appearances I hadn't yet mentioned'.

So who will finish first Bridcutt another 20
Barnes 15
Greer 14
or AEA 8
?
Anyone else current who's close?
I'd actually go for Bridcutt being first to 115 out of those
Barnes 15
Greer 14

So it looks like Gordon Greer will be first current player to join the top 15.

While Barnes and elAbd and probably Bridcutt never will. Amazing change in a very short time.

Update...
Gordon Greer almost certainly into 7th by the end of the month. Maybe into 2nd by the end of the season.
