Best player to play against the Albion in Brighton

[mistahclarke]

Following yesterday, some feel that was Brighton's biggest game for a long time, even though Man City, Newcastle, Sunderland and Liverpool have all visited in recent years.

So I was wondering, who were the best teams or players to play against Brighton at the Goldstone/Withdean/Amex in your opinion?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

David Beckham didn't amount to much when he played against the Albion at the Goldstone. Didn't we score within a minute of him coming on?

Gazza?

A long time ago now but the first ones that come to mind are

Ian Rush
Trevor Brooking
Ray Kennedy

 

[Titus]

Brian Clough.

Bellamy will always stand out for me. Outstanding for liverpool last season against us.

Diaby, giroud and wilshire for me were arsenals pick of the bunch.

Wasnt impressed by newcastle in either of their visits to the Amex.

Ossie Ardilas for Spurs, I think it was 81 at the Goldstone in a midweek game , awesome display

 

[Muhammed - I’m hard - Bruce Lee]

Liam Brady

Lloyd Doyley

For me it was Ian Rush. Very sharp.

Best team performance was a Sheffield Wednesday ( ) team from about 1989. We lost 0-4, John Sheridan passed us to death. We were lucky to get nil.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Kevin Beattie in a League cup game at the Goldstone. Different class.

Torres

Liam Bridcutt

I know he was only on very briefly , and I'm too young to remember rush et al. However, I think Jack Wilshere will be one of the best English players to grace the pitch. I've been brought up on Beckham Lampard Gerrard et al. Which has been average. Think wilshere will be better than those 3. Compare him to sturridge welbeck or cleverly and he comes up trumps IMO.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Shilts, King Kenny or Lawro

 

[Taybha]

Been a few but the one that sticks out was Simon Cox when he played for swindon , tore us apart at withdean , ended up 1-3 ? .

Glenn Murray

Done some quick research from the 80/90's games

Liverpool - Liddell, Hunt, Souness, Case, Grobbelaar, Neal, Thompson, Hansen, Lawrenson, Kennnedy, Lee, Whelan, Johnston, Dalglish and Rush.
Man Utd -Whiteside, Stapleton, Robson, Bruce, Pallister, Irwin, McClair, Ince, Hughes, Wilkins, McIlroy, Macari, Jordan, Beckham
Tottenham - Ossie Ardiles, Hoddle, Clemance
Arsenal - Jennings, Rice, O’Leary, Brady, Rix, Sunderland, Sansom, Groves, Lukic, Winterburn, Rocastle

 

[Dr JCL]

Although he was poor when he came on, I thought it was crazy to see Elano at The Withdean. I can't think of many Brazil internationals who've played against us

I remember Des Walker looking pretty unbeatable one game at the Goldstone back in the day
