All-Time Brighton and Hove Albion Draft

[shaolinpunk]

My tenth pick will add some grit to my midfield and provide some ball-winning bite infront of the defence. Not necessarily the most gifted footballer but he made up for that with blood, sweat and tears. A bulldog on the pitch and a joker off it, he's a club legend that has sadly been denied a testimonial by off-the-field circumstances. It would be a shame if this draft didn't acknowledge him so with that in mind, I give you...

I cannot believe those last two picks! They were my 1st and second choice for the next position! More thinking needed.

I had to check properly as I expected him to have gone, especially in the 2 stadiums bit

My lot would be alright. Between Calderon and Jones. Besides, I'd have Lawro in the media and Rogers on the commercial side to!

Saw someone at the Reading games with a top with Chivers 50 written on it. Wondered if there was a link. Fine player. As was Digweed.
