has there ever been a Brighton player who has divided opinion as much as Ashley Barnes

[Ex-Staffs Gull]

Robert Codner, some said lazy, some said best player

 

[algie]

Andy Kennedy certainly had his knockers

 

[bravohotelalpha]

My memory could be playing tricks, unusually for a player as prolific as Knight I'd suggest he was never taken to heart by lots of fans.
He was a prick before he left us.

Yes if my memory serves me correctly he was in cahoots with the coca cola kid ckr - the dynamic duo were responsible for trouble making in the dressing room

 

[rcf0712]

Had anyone else generated so many separate threads?

probably not

 

[Trigger]

Robert Codner?

This.

I loved him, many I know didn't.

 

[Skaville]

How about Glenn Murray?

 

[Bish Bosh]

Teddy Maybank is it for me.

Like Barnes, Teddy was the subject of heated debates between supporters and even good mates who were fans. He did exactly that - divide opinion.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

How about Glenn Murray?

He was abused by some before he left especially at Brentford. Many accused him of being lazy too.

Ted had an ability to produce the sublime, but as soon as Ward was left out, the crowd turned on him.

Couldn't buy a goal at home, more likely to find him horizontal on the pitch, scored some sublime stuff away from home.

El Adb, when at withdean?

 

[lighthouse]

I remember Peter O'Sullivan being regularly booed when his name was read out in his early days at the club.

It is amazing how often the players that the moaners choose to pick on go on to be Albion heroes!

 

[Barrow Boy]

Another vote for Teddy Maybank, never rated him. Remember when both Maybank and Paul (Tank) Clarke made their Goldstone debuts at the same game. Bloke on the tannoy announces "and let's give a big Goldstone welcome to our new signings Paul Clarke" (big cheer from the crowd) "and Teddy Maybank" (low murmurs and a few groans).

 

[seagurn]

Gordon smith as he was always in Michael Robinsons shadow!

 

[London Irish]

Charlie Oatway I'd say even more than Barnes

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Not at all. Knight was very much liked until he left and pressed the self destruct button.

Nonsense. I hated the little prick, long before he left. Shit attitude.

 

[DumLum]

Nonsense. I hated the little prick, long before he left. Shit attitude.

Whether you didn't like him or not surely you must admit we were a better team with him. Remember travelling to Watford and he was dropped because of an argument on the coach with macgee. We missed him badly.

Dean Daunders?

Agree

Another Teddy Maybank call here.
