[Albion] Who are our BHA cult heroes?

[Skaville]

Great choices! I may even add Justin Fashanu too though

I just visited The National Football Museum. They have a Fash display including a Brighton vs Hull city programme from 1985 with him on the cover

 

[Yes Chef]

Hmmm.... Do you remember roughly how old he was...?

Nnn-n-n-n-nn-nnn-nn.....




No

 

[Skaville]

Anyone fancy sorting a poll per position at some point?

Peter Taylor played a really shit striker for a few games some young lad can’t remember his name made his debut at QPR away Boxing Day WTF was his name?

Not Diving Daniel Webb by any chance? Son of Chelsea stalwart David Webb. The journeyman's journeyman, never SEEN anybody on wiki with a longer list of clubs against his name to so little effect.

Who was the player we signed and then sold (to Stoke I think) for a profit in the same window before he ever kicked a ball for the club? I keep thinking it was Paul Hardcastle but that isn’t right

Didn’t Paul Hardcastle make a track called 19?

that was him dog turd player.

 

[stewart12]

that was him dog turd player.

yeh I'd say he was more of just a shit player than a 'cult hero'

 

[Grombleton]

Abdul Razak.

If only for that one game.

 

[stewart12]

Surely Lee Steele is a candidate up top?

I remember having no fewer than 4 scousers come up to me on separate occasions claiming to be a mate or relative of Steeley when on holiday in Ayia Napa in my centenary shirt, all joyously proclaiming he was a maverick and a pisshead.

I know he crashed his car after a gala dinner drink driving after hitting a puddle, but were the rumours true that he also 'borrowed Micky Adams' car too?

yes I'd definitely include Steele. Was a vital part of our Division 2 winning side and always seemed like a bit of a scamp. Never quite understood why he was released at the end of that season?

 

[Seasider78]

Can we have a bench so we can add Jonny Dixon.

Surely worth inclusion if anything for the wool jumper he wore when he signed and shagging Holly Vallance

 

[kjgood]

Steve Piper

 

[Tekanne]

Kishishev?

 

[stewart12]

Kishishev?

most certainly

Also votes for

Bas Savage

Graeme 'concedes two a game' Smith

 

[cuthbert]

Here is a team for the older fans. All these were popular players and some, but not all were good:
Brian Powney
Stewart Henderson
Ian Goodwin
Jon Napier
Willie Bell
Ronnie Welch
Nobby Lawton
Dave Turner
Dave Armstrong
Alan Duffy
Ricky Marlowe

 

[AnotherArch]

Phil Stant - he of the bulging eyes.
Ian Baird for tactically removing Darren Moore from the Donny team in the last Goldstone game - and then still wanting to fight him in the tunnel.
Keith Cuss.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Paul Clark.....
Clark is Evilllllllllllllllll !

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Ian Chapman at Left back and then the two flairmeisters who briefly shone, Gotsmanov and Vicente to fill the wing and striker births.

Suggestions for the bench include;
Martin Thomas (anyone prepared to go in for a tackle with his head deserves a squad place)
Stuart Storer and Robbie Reinelt

Robbie Reinelt, probably one of the most useless strikers ever to wear the stripes. (Sorry Robbie, l'm just being honest).

However, cometh the hour, cometh the man etc. etc. I mean, what else did he ever do in an Albion shirt, other than score what was probably the most important goal in our entire history?

Enough to make him a cult hero? . . . most definately.
