Who is the most lightweight player in Albion's history?

[portlock seagull]

Nominations please and then I'll start a poll.

I'll put forward:
Paul Brooker
Tex
David Lopez
Dean Wilkins

No way does Wendy deserve to be in your list. Half of this seasons squad easily get into the Albion all time top 10 of wimps and make Deano's natural aggression on par with a T-Rex by comparison! And he could score goals, Bend it like Wilkins got as far as mood-boards in the 90s don't you know?

 

[Jam The Man]

Surely Gavin Geddes?

 

[Trelford Mills Guide Dog]

Mick Ferguson ... is my stock answer to hapless Albion players of a bygone era. However, I strongly believe the cretinous, bearded buffoon qualifies here too.

 

[Weststander]

Has to be Graeme Smith. Nobody could be more lightweight than a man who seemed not to be made of solid matter.

With fingers made of Lurpak, the speed of a Sloth and the sight of Mr.Magoo.

Bottlers in the tackle and fairies when tackled - Harley and Wilkins.

Others:
Holroyd
Hoyte

Chris Holroyd

Would say Paul Brooker but he was quite good at avoiding trouble.

 

[greyseagull]

Dale Jasper and David Clarkson registered fairly highly on the weedy scale when it came to putting the boot in.

This. My mind went blank when trying to think of his name earlier on.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Stuart Jones - the most lightweight keeper ever in a Brighton jersey. Remember him getting bundled into his own net for Grimsby's second goal in 2004.

Any calls for David Gipp?

I wondered about including him too. He's only the vaguest of early footballing memories for me, but I do remember him being thought of as a massive waste of space who didn't actually achieve anything. Pretty sure my Dad wasn't a fan of his.

Talcum Poskett.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Stuart Fleetwood! Never won a header, never will.

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Any calls for David Gipp?

Was going to be my shout too. He never played many games, however he appeared to be all of about 3 ft tall when on the pitch. I'm sure he could have headbutted a few centre halves in the kneecaps.

Fergusson was the laziest, immobile, feeble lightweight ever for a traditional centre forward. His turn of pace made O'Grady look like Usain Bolt.
