1978-79squad5a.jpg


Here's a lovely image of a rather more celebrated second tier Albion squad from yesteryear. Working the old grey cells, I'd like to invite you to name just five of them...
1 point each for being first to name players who played over 100 games for Brighton.
2 points each for being first to name players who played 10 to 99 games for Brighton
3 points each for being first to name the manager or backroom staff
5 points each for being first to name players who played 1 to 9 games for Brighton
10 points each for being first to name players who played 0 games for Brighton


I will only take your first five guesses, so it pays to name the most obscure Albion players, rather than naming the really well known players and only getting a point for each...


Right, off you go!

32 must be Eric Potts (supersub in the 2-1 home victory over Sunderland).

And I thought Malcolm Poskett should be in there, but I cant see him.....
