2 Appearances, Highly rated but injury prone, was first team squad player under Horton & Adams before retiring through injury.
McArthur played 3 games
I thought he looked great but he has faded away.
Absolutely not, it's the sort of thing that gives me nightmares.

How about Gavin Geddes? I went to school with him and I'm sure I watched him play at the Goldstone (although it might have been a reserve game I suppose), he might have even scored. At a guess it would have been around 1994 ...
I'm sure he played more than one game. I saw him play at Bournemouth when we got well beaten

Never played a first team game, as far as I recall.
He DID play in a kick about with me and my brothers though, in the hockey goal at Blatch Mill, when he was about 14, until the caretaker slung us off. I caught him right on the shin - accidentally of course - and he had a MASSIVE lump spring up in about 30 seconds.
Sorry Gavin, if you're reading

How about the Orient v Brighton match (Russell Slade's first ever game) for a whole host of one-game players.
Gary Borrowdale? Andersen in goal? Did Matt Heath play many games?
shit the bed that is an awful line up

yeh they must be. Gus gave Walker his debut in the final game of the season in his first season I think- at home to someone. As for Poke, wiki says he played 0 games but I'm sure he played in a cup game that we lost

he had a fairly respectable career in the States and earned himself 10 caps for the USMNT. Also played a fair bit for QPR including in the Prem (only remember that as I was really excited as in the premier league sticker album that year it had Brighton in his career history which was very rare for a premier league player at the time)
No. Admittedly by the mere fact they represented the Albion all (or very nearly all) of the people mentioned on this thread are better than 99% of can ever dream to be, but I really wouldn't wanted to be remembered as a figure of fun. If I'd had that level of ability I'd rather have been a top non-league player at somewhere like Worthing and be remembered fondly as opposed to being thought of as a 'failed pro'.

Poke definitely played at Northampton in a LC game. We lost 2-0 (I think one goal was his howler), Navarro (I think?) suffered a long term injury, Sparrow got a straight red, and I remember thinking how shit the season was going to be.
(we pissed the league, of course)
