The WAB Friday Quiz #116

Everyone loves a game of Guess Who and that is probably why one of the most popular rounds for the WAB Friday Quiz is Who Am I?

We have been inundated with requests to bring it back (okay, one email and one Twitter DM) and so here it is by popular demand… or as popular as two people requesting it can be.

The premise is simple. You have a set of clues and all you need to do is work out the Brighton player we are describing. Some will be obvious, some will be difficult but there should at least be something for Albion supporters of all generations in there.
