[stewart12]

Good morning flair fans, we are onto the semi finals now. Four gladiators remain

same rules as ever- poll will be open for 48 hours and the winner will go on to the final

Frank Worthington

Nationality: English

Albion Career: 1984-95 (31 appearances, 7 goals)

Credentials: Moustache-clad lothario and all round infamous swordsman. Lived hard and fast and realistically how we’d all love to do it. Incredible natural ability.

Progress: Worthington finished 1st in Group A, picking up 40 votes (38.1%). Thrashed the hapless Inigo Calderon 82-36 in the Second Round. Beat Mauricio Tarrico 28-18 in the Quarter Finals

vs

Anthony Knockaert

Nationality: French

Albion Career: 2016-20 (127 appearances, 25 goals)

Credentials: Moody, enigmatic, occasionally sulky winger who possessed incredible levels of natural ability.

Progress: Topped group D with 52 votes (46.4%). Thrashed Fran Sandaza 99-11 in the second round. Beat the much fancied Ezequiel Schelotto 48-19 in the Quarter Finals

as was mentioned in an early round, Worthington was undoubtedly flair but how flair was he AT BRIGHTON?

I feel like Knockaert was just constantly on his flair game for his entire spell here

 

[Guinness Boy]

As the nominator of AK he gets my vote. Sorry Frank!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Knocky all day long

11 years? And so few games, Total flair

This.

Full marks for being a shagaholic simpleton with a ridiculous ability to control a football, but if you're not going to it mostly Brighton, you're never going to beat a borderline legend recruited from Belgium with an absurd Latin temperament who got us our of our seats for most of his time here. Even when he was shit, he was flair. 0-5 v Bournemouth? No problem, just slide in feet-first at knee height and get sent off inside the first quarter of the game. FLAIR.

How many fans will even know or remember Frank (so wont that affect the vote)?

 

[HangletonGull]

Worthington was before my time of going so knocky for me

 

[MattBackHome]

Also crying in every interview is flair.

As is last minute screamer at Selhurst. And standing on a car on West Street orchestrating fan chants.

Obvs Knockaert

Knocky was a player to get you off your seat. Absolutely incredible in our promotion season. So many great moments to remember. Not a goal but I loved watching him sit down the Wolves defenders with his sublime skill at the Amex
