I am sick of hearing that Gary Hart is too old and past it at 32. He is 3 YEARS younger than Nicky Forster for heavens sake.

32 is no age. at this level he should be able to play close to 40.

Just LOOK at what everyone wrote about the Great Man - and that was long before his recent comeback. Just about everything that I love about watching the Albion, hell, about watching football in general is epitomised by Gary Hart.

What a man. What a player.

Couldn't be happier for the guy. It must not be fun sitting on the sidelines for pretty much 2 years. Shows even more strength of mind to come back into the 1st team and produce performances like he has. Legend!

To be fair before he had surgery this year he looked a bit slow and maybe not good enough anymore. Since then he has got that pace and mobility back, hopefully he keeps going for a few more years now! One of the good guys and deserves all the praise he gets.

Its no coincidence our revival has coincided with Gary Hart playing again. He shows more fight, desire , passion and determination wearing the shirt than every single can't be arsed loan player put together we have sadly had to endure this season. Slade had the sense to see this.

Absolutely SPOT ON, Mr G.
The sheer guts and determination this guy shows on the pitch is infectious, and has roused the team to new levels. We're not out of the woods yet, but OGH will simply not ALLOW us to be relegated. He won't have it.

He's an absolute legend and i couldn't be happier to see him back in the team....last night he showed just what we been missing all bloody season - he won that game for us.

Welcome back to the fold OGH, long may it continue, you gotta get a new contract in the summer. :D

I don't think anyone has ever suggested this is a mere conincidence, the stats speak for themselves. 5 assists in 5 games is Gerrard/Lampard form and I am DELIGHTED with the superb contribution from one of my favourite all time players.

We're not worthy

I would love it, LOVE IT, if Gary scores The Goal That Keeps Us Up. 1-0 at Hudds, with results going our way ?
No-one would deserve it more.

My favourite player of all time has always been Ian Chapman, a man who grew up supporting Brighton and wouldn't join Palace when the opportunity arose. Harty is the closest thing we've got to a fan playing in the team, he's right up there with Chappers as the embodiment of what we all want from a Brighton player I think. Taking an entirely pragmatic view, he's got to be worth another year on current form hasn't he? If he can contribute in the way he has been, surely even people inside the unsentimental footy world could see he's worth it?

(An interesting sub-plot on that score - given that Slade does not yet have a future at the club beyond this season, who's going to be responsible for the retained list?) At this rate they'll have to wait 'til after the season's finished to announce it, which is usually done before the last game isn't it?

Ths situation is summed up with Birchall after hearing of interest from LA Galaxy he was " ill " for the next Albion game, presumably as he couldn't risk and injury and Hart would run through a brick wall for the club.

Hear, hear! :clap:

So pleased for him (& us!) that The Big S has had the sense to see what a fit & hungry Harty can bring to our first-team. Now my official candidate for Player Of The Season. Go get 'em Gary! :bowdown:
 








OGH has made all the difference and as Virg's himself said yesterday - it almost looks like a different GH playing at the moment.

I was lucky enough to witness once again last night his never say die attitude and just to get and keep possession to be able to deliver a fantastic cross for the first goal was awesome. Similar efforts created the second but his all round contribution all over the pitch deserves respect and inspires players and fans alike.

Player of the Season - oh yes :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:
