Your biggest Albion underachiever

[portlock seagull]

Mark gall wasn't it?? Loved him when I first started watching the Albion in the 90s

That's him, bloody i-predictive next!

Has to be Moheta Molango!! Had barely taken a bite of my hotdog when he scored, only to lose the contents whilst celebrating. Had high hopes for him, clearly not as high as my hotdog!

[The Birdman]

Gus Poyet last season

Give the boy a break he only doing his job . So was the SS

 

[portlock seagull]

Not forgetting of course the poison dwarf himself, Leon Knight.

Did he under achieve with us Harty? Yes in hindsight re his entire career but not whilst with us. Over achieved with us perhaps, considering what happened afterwards. Plus he was a short-arse. Actually he was just an arse.

Certainly a very strange signing given his immediate impact that day at Reading. Scoring seemed to get him dropped! From the club!

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

David Gipp.....150 goals at youth and reserve team level, but not given a sniff in the first team. Yes he was small (5'7") but he knew where the net was. Shame.

That's a great shout to be fair.

 

[lawros left foot]

Kennedy, liked to be known as "The Dog",, thought he was the dogs bollox, instead was just bollox

 

[Husty]

Vicente, Harley and Poyet. In that order.

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

Mick Ferguson - Played up front v Scumhampton in the FA Cup Quarter Final in 1986 and was simply utter excrement (one of my biggest disappointements of the Goldstone era).

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Ha ha yes we were only talking about him last night. Still not convinced he ever signed for us but turned up at 7.30 pulled on a shirt ran out scored four goals and disappeared just after the final whistle never to be seen again! Like some football marvel comic creation, a soccer ninja!!

I think it's a bit of myth that's built up around Wade. After all, it's a great fairy tale to tell of a footballer that no one has heard of who turns up, scores four, and is promptly never heard of again. Sometimes I even hear people say that that the Newcastle game was his first for us.

In fact, he scored for us before his most famous match, against Wolves the previous week, and then against Leicester the following month. The following season, his three goals in his seven games for a relegation side was certainly a decent strike rate.

I remember his 4 that night, was right in front of the north goal in pole position. and the one v wolves but thought that was afterwards. I remember he was always a sub? Hadn't forgotten he was with us the following season mind but yes, you're right...stop spoiling the myth! His record for us was P1 G4! Legend.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

I was gonna say Codner. He was a tart, Harley too. Dobbie must be in with a shout too!

Codnor was a decent player...he made a lot of goals.....Wades 4th against Newcastle was a fine example.

 

[les dynam]

Kitson. Complete and utter waste of money. But clearly talented - looked ace in the handful of times he appeared.

Codner didn't underachieve he was underrated. He put in some superb displays in that play off season.

Mark Gall was amazing. But injury ruined him.

Vicente's record of 2 wins in 18 starts (i think) considering his immense talent suggest huge underachievement.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Farrington, Peake, Harley, Rod Thomas, S Thompson, Mick Ferguson

How can you remember that? Although saying that I remember codners v millwall in playoff semi as if it were yesterday

 

[greyseagull]

Adrian Owers

Not that I saw it happen, but I think I have an inkling that he scored a hat-trick for Brighton's reserves in a 5-0 win over Southampton, which prompted him to get a slot in the first team.

 

[Brightonia]

Look no further than Ryan Harley.

Absolutely this, quite possibly the worst player I have ever seen in an Albion shirt!

 

[TottonSeagull]

Les Berry, the first time I saw him I thought he looks like he will be shite and he was worse!

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

There have been a few disappointing big money signings. Perhaps Barry Bridges, Teddy Maybank and Mickey Thomas deserve a mention.
