Was the ex-Malmo coach Bob Houghton formerly with Brighton?

He guided Malmo to the European Cup Final in 1979, of course.

Wikipedia seems to suggest that he was, as well as our opponents tomorrow, Fulham, but I hadn't realised. Anyone here recall him with us from 1969 to 1970?

Nah, don't think so. I was barely able to see over the East Terrace wall around that time, but not a name I remember. That was the era of Alex Dawson, Kit Napier, Brian Powney and all. Certainly not Bob Houghton though as I remember?

Shoot magazine from June 1979 also mentions Brighton:

It is strange. He doesn't feature in any of the squad photos in Carder and Harris' books either.
