It appears that Vicente still follows the Albion from afar

Brian Owen has tweeted:

Just had a chat with Vicente Rodriguez, who is coaching kids in Miami. He's among those who think Hemed will suit the Championship #bhafc

Followed up by: Vicente footnote: I was very surprised how much he remembered about Rosenior when I told him who BHA had signed. Must have caught his eye

Blimey, that is surprising, seeing as though they only played against each other in one match (the 0-0 draw at the Amex in October 2011).

Next time you tweet him, please pass on my undying love and admiration for the legend.

Seconded. The ultimate Albion cult hero in my view. He may have played only a few games but that stand out moment of magic against Derby in 2012 will live long in the memory. :bowdown:


In my BHA supporting history ( 50 years ) I would happily forsake everything that has happened ( and there have been many emotional moments ) if I could just re-write two small passages of time.
1) The dying seconds of the 1983 FA Cup Final and Gordon Smith buries a low, right foot shot past Gary Bailey, to win the Cup for little old Brighton.
2) Its 2012, its Derby at home and Vicente Rodriguez suddenly gets on the ball. He goes past one, two, three, four men in the blink of an eye. Driving into the box, he veers ever so slightly to the left, before unleashing a thunderous shot, that crashes into the net off the underside of the bar. We have witnessed the greatest goal we will ever see from a Brighton player.
Give me those two moments, take everything else away and I will die a happy man.

Greedy of me, I know, but could we not write re-write Speroni's save from Barnes, too...?

Me too. Cheers.


For two moments of DERBY brilliance.

1) the shot that crashed off the bar
2) his half-hour cameo in that classicoast where he won the game on his own, briefly silencing "The Greatest Fans In The World" TM

One of the greatest players I have ever seen wearing the stripes. Simply awesome.

It's a shame he retired so early - would have thought he was ideal MLS fodder

That is probably my favourite memory of his time here - a dull 0-0 when he came off the bench, and he proceeded to absolutely rip them apart.

I think he is the best ever player to play for Brighton & Hove Albion. We were absolutely blessed to see him play in the blue and white stripes, even if it wasn't for as often as we wanted.
