A nice video but Graham Potter with more airtime than Dick Knight is just weird. Club determined to turn him into some sort of Klopp like figure.

Almost as weird as your obsession.
Potters irrelevant to the clubs turnaround story IMO. it was over in that respect, 5 years ago.

Dick Knight is the man . .and latterly Tony Bloom, as well as all of us who fought and supported through thick and thin to do what we could to keep heads above water in the mid late 90's.

Obsession in thinking Dick Knight is undeniably one of the two most important figures at the club over the last 25 years and would be much more fitting to end a montage marking the 25th anniversary of losing the Goldstone.
Yep ok

Counting how many seconds the present manager gets in a 3min 15 sec montage is though.

Hahaha I haven't. It's pretty ****ing blatant if you watch the video.
Still at least Dick Knight still has the bar named after him, I guess they aren't so petty they get rid of that

Still managed to make him sound a bit of a DICK though, didn't they?
Knight's Bar is cooler.

It's amazing how much you actually appear to dislike your own football club.

Knight and Bloom both huge parts of the Albion history.
Without either of them we wouldn't have Falmer.
Just enjoy, if that's the right word, the video and appreciate what we have and where we've come from.

Great video, who would have thought then that we'd be where we are now?
Hats off to everyone who helped make it a reality.

Yes, you're right. Bloody legends. It must never get forgotten.

Personally wanted to see more about our time at the Goldstone and the players and games not the what happened afterwards that's well documented and talked about often.
not very corporate though.

Brighton must be one of the best club out there that reminds its fans, players, staff and managers of its history and how it got from the Goldstone to Withdean to here.
Countless videos, promo, tributes, acknowledgement marking 10th anniversaries, 20th anniversaries, 25th anniversaries. Here's just one small example of Dick telling the story in full on the official Albion YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4xw1mnaYHU
So i'm pretty perplexed - even in reaction to that rather brilliant bit of video editing - that there's a belief that there's a reluctance by the club to do it properly or tell the story or to deliberately misrepresent the roles of those who played their part or that the club isn't trying to ensure its not forgotten. And who really thinks that if you're telling the story and bringing it up to date that Potter wouldn't be in it ? Really ?
Well I enjoyed it.

Unlike modern-day football, the footage of pre 1997 football is very limited below the top tiers, and what does exist is often low quality. That's probably why montages like that have more Withdean and Falmer stuff.
