**Title edit** It's Chris O'Grady's birthday TODAY!

[Eeyore]

Chris O'Grady was born on the day Brighton beat Hull City 3-2 in the FA Cup fourth round at Boothferry Park on 25th January 1986.

I was on the Seagull Special that day.

Whilst I was trapped for hours in that long overheated carriage, with its stiff window and constant stops and starts, our Chris was enduring exactly the same scenario elsewhere.

Subsequently, we were both delivered safely to our destination and a happy ending.

Oh you're frackin well kidding me.

One of my very best experiences as an Albion fan* was at that game, and now you're telling me Big Chris was getting his first pat on the back, at the same time.

*At 2-2 we defended literally 87 consecutive corners down there end.
Then we broke down the left, and crossed into the box.
Terry Connor rose like a salmon...

..and I fell over.

Everyone around grabbed me and threw up, somewhat forcibly.

As TC looped his penalty spot header into the far corner, I was about 3 feet above the crowd.

We all went mentals, it was such a massive release of pressure.

Shirely we should start with the same 11 as Wednesday except for Dunk back in for Hughes?

How can CMS & JFC both being fit be classed as a 'boost'?!

Because we're going to lose regardless, but at least this gives us a chance to put CMS in the shop window.

Did you see the nonsensical stuff in this comic? http://brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk/sold-amex-hoping-albion-cup-upset/

"The Seagulls recovered from their home blip against Brentford to continue their encouraging form since the departure of Sami Hyypiä and have now won four games from the five since the former Liverpool player’s resignation."

Four from the six.

Looks like it's also Adam Virgo's birthday too. Along with Xavi Hernandez, Eusebio, David Ginola and Robinho.

It truly is the birthday of the fantasy footballers. And Michael Brown.

(And also Chris Hughton's son Cian, who made a solitary appearance in Birmingham City's match day squad, as an unused substitute against Brighton & Hove Albion).
