Brighton Managers XI

[flying high]

Jeff Wood was a good keeper BG tells me. He gave me his team

Wood
Catlin Saward Hypia Adams
Coppel Mullery Horton Brady
Clough Poyet

 

[loco61]

strengthening the squad

a certain James Melia was a handy midfielder !
10 years at Liverpool 269 games > 76 goals
but
Oscar Garcia in... with Nobby on the bench!

 

[el punal]

Peter Taylor the first was a keeper

So was Jeff Wood.

 

[severnside gull]

Archie Macauley was a very useful inside forward who could also play as a wing back......would have fitted in to the current playing style quite well

 

[el punal]

Peter Taylor (the first one) in goal. Defence - Chris Cattlin, Archie MacCauley (full backs), Pat Saward and Sami Hyypia (centre backs). Midfield - Alan Mullery, Brian Horton, Gus Poyet, Steve Coppell. Strikers - Mark McGhee and Brian Clough

Subs - Peter Taylor (the second one), Micky Adams, Jimmy Case, Liam Brady, Jeff Wood (Goal).

Half-Time Entertainment - Jimmy Melia

The list is endless, but just look at the strength of our midfield, if only we could play them in our current side!

 

[timbha]

Martin hinshelwood would have been in the team but was injured

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Tommy Cook was an England International and how about Jimmy Case?

 

[GT49er]

Coppell, Clough and Dave Sexton would make a decent front three.......

Sadly, Dave Sexton never managed Brighton. If only we had got him after he was sacked by Man Utd in 1981...

Sorry - my mistake - not thinking straight at this time of night!

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

McGhee would be upfront with Clough surely.

 

[Poppett63]

I can't believe that Brady doesn't feature in every team, he was a sublime player, world class. However, virtually every permutation suggest would give our current lot a spanking. Who would manage them out of our ex-managers? Mike Bailey?

So much this. I know Brian Horton is an Albion legend but he played for Port Vale, Brighton, Luton and Hull. On the other hand Brady played for Arsenal, Juventus, Sampdoria, Inter, Ascoli and West Ham. He is still considered one of Arsenal's all time great midfielders and possibly the best midfielder to ever come from the British Isles.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Taylor #1
Horton Cattlin Hyypia Case
Coppell Garcia Mullery Taylor #2
Clough Poyet

What about Steve Gritt...

Mike Bailey would turn this into a tight defensive unit.

 

[Scoffers]

So many to chose from

This begs the question, who has been our best manager that never made it to the top level of football as a player (but thats a thread for another day!)

 

[Lady Whistledown]

What about Steve Gritt...

Great manager in the circumstances. But as footballers go: loyal, long serving, solid and unremarkable.

 

[JBizzle]

To add a further spanner in the works, who would Captain the side?!
