Nice tribute here, some good clips, if you can see through all the filters!

I do feel lucky to have seen him play a fair few times...there was a hush of anticipation from the crowd every time he was on the ball - you knew that whatever he did, whether it was a pass, cross, shot...it'd be inch perfect every time.
One of the best things he did (apart from Ipswich & Pompey) was the pass to Bridge in the 2nd half against Hull last season...gets the ball facing away from goal, quickly turns his man and drills the ball to the galloping Bridge down the wing...unfortunately Orlandi fluffed his chance, but the pass was insane.

Adios Vicente, our greatest ever player
Anyone know if he's got a twitter account?

I agree with the posters on this thread it was a shame we did not see more of his silky skills it would be great to see come onto the pitch so we can give a cheer and say thank you and show we appreciate good players.
Not sure he could manage a lap of honour without getting injured

Why do people always draw the conclusion that a top player will automatically be a top coach?
The two skills are very different and some distance apart.
Wonderful, wonderful player who lit up the Amex on his rare appearances. Yes, there was that run against Derby and the destruction of Pompey but who remembers the evening game against Blackburn? I don't think we even won and yet I could have watched him all night. Hope he has a happy retirement.

Sentiment says yes, head says not even close.the best player ever to put on the shirt? sorry wardy
When he was younger (& fit) Vicente was world class - even with us in the championship he was a league or two better than Wardy
I loved watching him play for us.
Every time he stepped onto the pitch, or every time he touched the ball there was a sense of excitement and expectation that I've never felt for another Albion player. The single-handed demolition of Portsmouth, the goal against Ipswich, the run and shot against Derby...OK, so we didn't see him as much as we would have liked but it was bloody brilliant when we did.
I remember reading a Tweet the day we signed him that simply said "Vicente to Brighton...how the **** has that happened?", which nicely sums up how I, and I suspect a lot of people, felt at the time. A brilliant player and one who I think will always be well-remembered by those who saw him strut his stuff in the stripes.

Im gutted Vicente wont be back ,he was class but wardy scored 30 plus goals for us in one season and got us in div one , Vicente didn't get us up last season ,if fit yes he would but that's the problem still love the dagger though

The most curious thing..
Did anyone ever find out what was actually wrong with him and why he kept being injured?

Your support is not that great
I still maintain it was all a dream. Vicente? Brighton?
