Who did you think was the most exciting signing Albion have made

[hampshirebrightonboy]

Peter Ward

Second time?

 

[Official Old Man]

I don't remember Knocky being signed. Did we go crazy over him or was he a Leicester reject?

 

[Buzzer]

Jonny Dixon. I can still remember my first time at seeing that jumper he was wearing. Flair.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Andy Ritchie, our most expensive player ever when you compare the what was being spent at the time.

 

[Icy Gull]

Jonny Dixon. I can still remember my first time at seeing that jumper he was wearing. Flair.

Because you rated him as a DJ maybe?

 

[jevs]

Mark Barham....England international!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Rogero]

Bobby Smith, also other signings that seemed big were Frank Worthington, Joe Kinnear ,Phil Beale , Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers. Apart from Smith they were all well past their prime but were big names.

 

[Nathan]

Honourably mentions to Wayne Bridge and Matthew Upson.

 

[Ernest]

Brian Clough, now it would be like Jose Mourinho leaving Chelsea to go to Bristol Rovers

 

[Buzzer]

Because you rated him as a DJ maybe?

His ability to pull Holly Vallance mainly. And that jumper.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Vicente. Still can't believe we had him for that all too brief but magical period.

 

[rool]

Has to be Jimmy Case for me. A Liverpool regular in a team that was pretty much winning everything at the time and still the right side of 30 as opposed to being at the end of his career.

 

[glasfryn]

Second time?

never looked as sharp second time but still good

 

[dingodan]

Fran Sandaza.

 

[Hiney]

Vicente, all day long.

When he signed, I was getting text messages from mates, along the lines of 'WT Actual F - Vicente, seriously'

Such a shame he didn't (consistently) give us what we wanted/needed, but that run and shot against derby...........

 

[aolstudios]

Vicente. Just unbelievable.
Until I saw the pictures in Galileo...

 

[Frutos]

Vicente.

 

[glasfryn]

just a thought
Barry Bridges
only seen one match he played for us and he was head and shoulders above the rest

 

[Triggaaar]

I'm sure many will name Vicente but I must confess to hardly knowing who he was when I saw the announcement

I don't think it matters if you didn't know whom he was before, once we signed him you found out and that dictated how excited you'd be etc - so same principle for any exciting future transfers we make.

 

[Blackadder]

Like many, I was very excited by the signing of CMS.. Oh well.

After seeing him nearly single handedly destroy us at Bristol Rovers (we still won) I was very excited by the signing of Will Hoskins. Sadly he never remained fit.

As a child, I remember getting very excited by the signing of Ken Beamish. That one actually worked out quite well,
