The WAB Friday Quiz #144

Brighton defenders have been coming in for all manner of praise in recent weeks. Adam Webster is being looked at by Gareth Southgate for his next England squad and Dan Burn is in the form of his life, marking some of the most expensive strikers in the world out of games.

In honour of these goliaths, this week’s WAB Friday Quiz is all about defenders. 20 questions about some of the great (and not so great) men to play in the Albion backline over the past 60 or so years.

Burn obviously kicks us off. Regular quizzers will be shocked to know that Doug Rougvie does not feature as a question but we do have some Adam Hinshelwood, some Larry May (no relation to Theresa) and some Gaetan Bong.

Time to find out how much you really know about Brighton defenders.
