Apparently he met GP last year, GP said "you look good" and Horton responded "yes because I dont have to manage shite players like you any more".

Seems like a fun character

He’s managed Brighton & played for us.

Would have been a good addition to the midfield in his pomp

In your opinion, TB, does he get in the best Albion team of players you've seen?

He's up against Bissouma. i suppose you could play them both together in front of a back 3. In fact I quite fancy that. Penalty taker sorted also.

That reminds me, I've got a limited edition Brian Horton latte mug somewhere.

I don't go along with this 'best XI of all time kind of thing - impossible to rate player from different generations and vastly different versions of the game of football. But yes, if not actually in the team, Horton would be well up there in the mix.

The box to box midfielder we don't have currently.

Also the 4th. minute red card we don't currently have!

OK. Maybe 24th. minute on a good day....................

Horton has also managed GP at Macclesfield.

He’s certainly in my top 20.

Boxing Day 79. Ward tripped in first few minutes attacking North goal. Nobby steps up and gleefully THUMPS in the penalty. Cue ballistic scenes. One of my most vivid Goldstone memories.

All together now "Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.....jingle all the way, oh what fun it is to see, Palace lose away"!

Great to hear that from Brian Horton.
I'm starting to get really fired up for the game now.
It must be great for the players to see messages like that too.
I can't wait.

I wonder if the Nobster will put right the fundamental Brighton related error writ large in his 1st Edition

He'd be in my team. There might be slightly better players but I don't think we have ever had a leader on the pitch as good as him.

I'm struggling to remember him ever being sent off when playing for us. And as for whether he'd get in our best-ever team, I imagine i speak for most fans of my age when I say he would not only walk into it but captain it.

One of my biggest regrets was being hyper critical on the wireless of Nobby's defection to Port Vale in 1999, unfortunately I was acting on information received from individuals at that time within the club, that information proved to be not entirely factual, I actually think I used the word Judas which was uncalled for and bang out of order. I felt it necessary to write to Nobby and apologise which he thankfully accepted.

Then again as one door closes and all that, if Horton hadn't have gone we wouldn't have got Micky Adams.
