You beat me to it!

That is magnificent. Loved the image of Peter Osgood in the stripy shorts. As ludicrous as the Albion shorts of 1991-93.

This is a top quality book, I knew you would like it, I got the first one last Christmas and thought that was very good.

I wonder if anyone has that Clough's Aces silk scarf pictured in the Brighton section of the book?

I would love to see an Albion book done like this, now there's a challenge for you GR.

Mmmm, that would be an interesting idea!
I did once consider doing a football sticker album for Brighton with a double spread of 14 or so players for each season from 1970 to 1997.

The scarf you mention was on eBay a few months ago:

Yes, I got it from the Got Not Got website originally!

I might have to invest in the club editions after Xmas.
