Reading the match report of our win yesterday I saw a photo of Gross celebrating with Mwepu after the latter's goal.

It got me thinking that with Gross joining in our first season in the premier league he must have played in plenty of our premier league wins. But then probably not as many as Dunk.

Is Dunk the player with the most top flight Brighton wins? Or is their someone else? I can't imagine there's a player with more prem wins but what about from our first stint in the top flight? Was there anyone who played all four seasons who might have won more?

As you say, that honour must fall to either Pascal or Dunky. The only other remaining player left at the club from our first Premier League season in 2017/18 that l can think of, is Solly March, but of course he hasn't played in nearly as many games.

Steve Foster?

Played all four seasons and don't recall any long term injuries, just the usual suspensions.

In terms of PL, dunk has a large lead over everyone else.

This also shows how important Stephens and Propper were for us after we came up.

We’ve only won 44 games in the Premier League; Dunk has played in 41 of them.

Oooh good call. 1st choice x 4 seasons of 42 games. Just need someone to add up the wins now (suspect it's going to be very tight)

We won 47 games in the old Division 1 so Dunk looks like the answer to me.

Eric Steele started the season in goal in 1979

I think Perry Digweed would have played in some of those wins over the 4 years

But he was only in goal for 1 win I think so Moseley is probably the correct answer.

Just had a quick count and I put Foster on 43. He played in all but 12 games.

Moseley 10 out of 11 wins in 79-80, 7 out of 14 in 1980-81, so Dunk is the correct answer I think. Or Foster maybe.

So if Dunk is 41 and Foster 43, will he overtake him this season? I reckon tie him (and then hopefully not feck off to Chelski as they look for cheap signings on a new budget). Can go on and double the record if stays one club man.
