John Phillips is one.

Yes. Two to go.

Dave Sexton & Steve Cotterill

He was but he wasn't the last to lift a trophy.

Mike Bailey - League Cup 1974.

 

[The Large One]

We've done this before...

Regarding the beginning of the season, what have Brighton & Hove Albion and Leicester City achieved that no other clubs have done?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Didn't Perry Digweed play for Chelsea, or was that after Brighton?

He did play for Chelsea, and that answers my earlier question about players playing for Brighton, Chelsea and Watford.

However, he was not a Chelsea keeper in the 1970s.

Which ex Brighton manager has lifted a major cup, who for and in what year.

Mark Mchgeee 1983 European Cup, for Aberdeen

 

[The Large One]

Mark Mchgeee 1983 European Cup, for Aberdeen

I think Willy Miller was the skipper.

 

[drew]

Ian Storey-Moore is one

Bobby Moore is another.

It would be if his name was Bobby Mooore

But his name is Bobby Moore. However, his surname is only Moore with two 'Os'.

Storey-Moore, Woodcock and Osgood.

Is the collated correct answer.

Ha, ha. No.

The third most recent English manager to win the FA Cup was Terry Venables in 1991.

Howard Wilkinson was the last English manager to win the league.

Yes with Wolves.
