Top
10 Brighton and Hove Albion EFL Trophy Moments
Brighton are back in
the ELF Trophy for the first time in six years
following the announcement that the Seagulls Under
23 side will take part. To celebrate, we look back
at our top 10 Albion moments in this great and
famous competition. |

Brighton and Hove Albion Kit Cock Ups
With the announcement
of the announcement that Brighton will be releasing
a new kit in the next few days stoking anger that
they couldn't just get on with it, we take a look
back at some of the glorious kit cock ups that have
littered the Albion's recent past. |

Hyyp-replacement - who next for Brighton and Hove
Albion?
After just six months
in charge, Sami Hyypia has resigned as Brighton and
Hove Albion manager with the club in a world of
relegation trouble. We've put together the leading
25 candidates to take on the job and assess whether
they are the right man (or woman) to save us from
League One. |
 |
Curse of October
The last time Brighton
and Hove Albion won a game in October was in 2010.
Since then four years, 19 games, a US Presidential
election and a Royal engagement, wedding and two
babies
have all passed. We take a look at the Seagull's
remarkable run of form in the tenth month of the
year. |

End of an Errea
Part Five - 2011-2014
Against all the odds, we have actually completed the
run down of every single kit Errea produced during
their 15 years supplying the Albion. The fifth and
final part focuses on the last three season of Amex
football and two of the finest away and goalkeepers
kits of the lot. Not a bad way to finish. |
 |
End of an Errea Part
Four - 2008-2011
End of an Errea part four takes a look at the final
few kits of the Withdean era including the somewhat
bizarre and questionable decision to have a home,
away and third kit that were all blue. And not
forgetting the glorious designs of that League One
title season. |
 |
End of an Errea Part
Three - 2005-2008
2005-2008 was a golden period for Brighton and Hove
Albion kits with a raft of simply wonderful goalkeeper
uniforms and three "special edition one offs" to
fleece fans out of £40. They all feature in the
third part of our End of an Errea series. |
 |
Oscar Gar-see-ya - who next for the Albion?
Oscar Garcia's resignation leaves the Albion looking
for a new manager for the second consecutive summer
after play off semi final heartbreak. We take a look
at the positives and negatives of 25 of the leading
candidates to become Brighton manager for 2014-15. |
 |
End of an Errea Part
Two - 2002-2005
Part two of our look back through 15 years of Errea
kits covers 2002-2005. One relegation, one play off
final and two seasons in the Championship against
all the odds set to a backdrop of a ridiculous
number of goalkeeper kits. Including THAT pink one. |
 |
End of an Errea Part One - 1999-2002
With Errea set to end their 15 years as "technical
partner" to Brighton and Hove Albion, the first of
our five part series looking at every kit they made
for the Seagulls looks back at 1999-2002. *Warning:
This does include photos of Mark Walton.* |

Inside the new Training Ground -
October 2013
Another step towards having everything in place for
Premier League football for the Albion is the new
state-of-the-art training ground just outside
Lancing. Set to open in time for the 2014-15 season,
we joined Oscar Garcia, Martin Perry and Paul Barber
for a look around. |

Brighton's Best Beards
The beard is rarely seen on the football pitch in
England in the 21st Century. With the passing of
Tony Grealish, one of the finest bearded men to play
for the Albion, we trawl through the archives and
take a look back at the top ten beards seen in a
Brighton shirt. |

Withdean's Greatest XI Revealed
You've been voting for nine weeks for the twelve
men who have been the best to pull on the
stripes during the eleven year stay at our
former temporary home at the Theatre of Trees.
Now we can exclusively reveal just who you have
chosen to be in our Withdean's Greatest XI dream
team
|

Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Manager *POLL CLOSED*
The final poll in our Withdean Greatest XI series is
arguably the most important - the man in the dugout.
Four have lead the Albion to promotion, three
winning the titles along the way. Throw in great
escapes from relegation and it turns out we've
actually been pretty blessed with the men in charge. |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Strikers *POLL CLOSED*
Bobby Zamora. Leon Knight. Nicky Forster. Glenn
Murray. We've had some great centre forwards
throughout the Withdean years, and our final players
poll for the Withdean Greatest XI aims to find two
to fill the position from a bumper field of fourteen
strikers to have worn the stripes since 1999 |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Central Midfield *POLL
CLOSED*
It's a position that has given us two
player-of-the-season winners, greats winding down
their careers and up-and-coming talents Goal
scorers, tough tacklers and natural leaders make up
our poll for Withdeans Greatest Central Midfielder |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Left Wing *POLL
CLOSED*
While the left side of midfield is a position that
England has struggled to produce players for, the
Albion have had no such trouble filling it during
their time at Withdean. From the pace of Kazenga
LuaLua to the trickery of Darren Currie, who do you
think was the best to pull on the stripes? |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Right Wing *POLL
CLOSED*
Our poll for Withdean's Greatest Right Winger has
proved to be a particularly hard one to put together
- so much so there are only five nominations. It
will probably be a two horse race between the first
man to hold down the position and the most recent,
so let the battle commence! |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Centre Backs *POLL
CLOSED*
Since we've been at Withdean, centre backs have won
six of the ten player-of-the-season awards. Three
promotions, particularly in the play-off season were
built on strong defences. In our latest poll to find
Withdean's Greatest XI, we're looking to fill both
remaining spots in defence. |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Left Back *POLL
CLOSED*
With the exception of Kerry Mayo, it feels like
we've had a different left back every season since
moving to Withdean. Loan players, youth team
products moving onto better things and horrific
injuries to internal organs have all played their
part in the lack of consistency. |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Right Back *POLL
CLOSED*
The Albion have been blessed with some attacking
right backs since their arrival at Withdean. The
likes of Paul Watson and Inigo Calderon have offered
just as much of a goal threat as they have
defensively. But who would you select to make the
position their own in the Withdean Greatest XI? |
 |
Withdean's Greatest XI Vote - Goalkeeper *POLL
CLOSED*
In our first poll to find out who you think would be
the ultimate Brighton XI to represent the Seagulls
from the Withdean years, we ask you to vote on our
nine nominated goalkeepers. We've played 24 since
moving back to Brighton in 1999, but who was the
ultimate number one for you? |

Withdean West Stand - The Worst Away End in the League
Portsmouth's visit in
the FA Cup saw home fans given the option to sit in
Withdean's West Stand, widely accepted to be the worst
away end in the Football League. In the name of research,
and not because it was the cheapest area to sit in,
we decided to take up this rare opportunity. |
 |
Special Edition Kits
With the news that the
Albion will wear an all-white one-off shirt away at
Dagenham due to a kit clash, we take a look back at
the clubs record of six special edition jerseys in
seven seasons as the
Seagulls look to overhaul Manchester United as the
kings of new kits. |
