He was our keeper in 2011 when we won the League One Championship, and part of the squad in 2017. Now returning to Denmark, to take up the role of head of goalkeeping with former club Brondby, ending an 11-year spell with Albion.

Great memories.

All the best to him. He's well regarded in his role for us but obviously family comes first.

Great servant over the years - probably more so since he stopped playing.

Will always remember him for those games at Withdean where he would frustrate forwards with is calm ball playing around to his defenders - especially when we were trying to kill off a game.

Sat next to him at Griffin Park a few years back. Nice chap.

Good luck Casper.

Or NOT playing it around. Literally just standing there with it at his feet.

Tak og farvel, Casper :bowdown:

Shame to see him go. Ben Roberts gets all the plaudits but the GK team have a lot to be proud of. Best of luck to him!

Hope the club make an announcement so that the fans can show their appreciation, a great servant to the club

I think he’ll miss Brighton, but I’m pleased that he’s got a job back home. He was an absolute master at time wasting :lolol:

Used to see him sitting outside a cafe in Westdene, puffing at his tab. Great servant to the club and I am sure his coaching skills will be missed by the club who seem to be producing/developing a lot of talent in that department.

That is Casper's daily routine. Think he's still got a place in Valley Drive. Best of luck to a great servant.

All the best Casper! I suppose I’ll have to forgive you for that last minute hoof down the field against Leeds now :lolol:

He has guts too, playing on with a broken nose when Symes left his boot in.

I didn't really recognise him at Walsall until came over to pick up a ball,he looks fitter and leaner now than I ever saw him in goal, good luck Anchorman and thanks for the memories

A great club servant thank you for all you have achieved for the Albion good luck in your new role and as others have said family comes first

Think it was a game against Peterborough. One of their players genuinely complained to the referee that Casper was simply standing with the ball at his feet.
