How do Brighton join the elite without losing the magic?
Daniel Storey went to Brighton to find out how a football club was reincarnated and remodelled. From Edgar Street to Amsterdam

This is the club that Bloom rebuilt. It was unthinkable then that Brighton might even reach the top division within a generation, let alone finish in its top six, play twice at Wembley in FA Cup semi-finals and top a European group ahead of Marseille and Ajax. In 1997, they were equalising at Hereford United’s Edgar Street on the final day to survive the drop to non-league.
