[Albion] Is Lewis Dunk Brighton's greatest ever player ?

[WATFORD zero]

Unashamedly 'borrowed' from another thread



And for me, yes he is

 

[nicko31]

Getting close, it will be a sad day when he retires...

Have you been watching the Albion since 1901 then?

Because unless you have, you will never know the answer to your question.

Only 65-66 for me, so missed Bobby Smith but seen all since

 

[Is it PotG?]

No.

 

[Weststander]

I hope he sees out his already fantastic career with us.

15 or more years, bar a few months all in the top 2 divisions, will make Lewis the most iconic Albion player ever imho. Enhanced by being Brighton born n bred.

[The antithesis of Hove Born And Bred].

People will talk about 29 game Vicente … talent with the ball and an illustrious career years before, is a different thing altogether.

This ! For me, honorable mentions for Nobby, Wardie, Fozzie and Bobster....very difficult to compare eras.

No. There have been many players who have been great for us - I wouldn't even attempt to name them all, because there'll be some before my time that I never knew about. Even in my time there are lots of greats - but to try and pick out one as the greatest? Nah ..... daft idea.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Top club man, but ability-wise I'd put him behind both Lawrenson and Stevens in his position.

As pointed out above, I saw all these through their primes in the lower divisions and occasionally in the lower echelons of the top division, hence my vote.

I don't know anyone before 66, but if we all agreed on NSC, it wouldn't last long

I find Man City and Liverpool frightening and beyond anything I could have imagined in the last 50 years of watching football. It's been proven that on a good day we take points off them and for the rest of the whole premier league we are disappointed if we don't get something.

This is a team that is captained by a lad from Hurst and yet people want to claim that someone who spent a few years in a lower division at a far lower level of football was better than someone has played nearly 400 games, taking us through the divisions to the best standard of football I have ever seen.

Exactly.

Great club man, but “greatest player”, no, I don’t think so...

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Only if he carries on to become our successful manager like Charlie Webb.

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Dunk is the best player i've seen for us.

The consistency over so many years has been remarkable.

I've got a feeling we've got a few more good years of him yet and i'm certainly not ruling out seeing the glorious sight of him lifting a major trophy for us.

 

[GT49er]

Or if he goes on to manage a team that wins the League Championship? That'll be some achievement if he can ever equal it!

.........or goes on to (caretaker) manage England, or manage Manchester United ....... or takes a club from the fourth tier to the first ............

It's amazing what ex-Albion players have gone on to achieve! Frank Lampard's Wayne Rooney's Lewis Dunk's Derby County anyone?

 

[studio150]

Maybe greatest ever red card collector.

Not sure he gets into an Albion all time side currently.

I’m not talking about exaggerated fantasies, but a player who achieved both roles well for the Albion.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This sort of thread.....is the best ever thread! What do you think? Let's have a poll!

(I think that may be my best ever post. What do you think? Let's have a poll!)

All played for the Albion, and went on to achieve these things.
