The WAB Friday Quiz #107

Whilst strikers get you goals and goalkeepers keep clean sheets, the most exciting players on the pitch can often be found stalking up and down either flank. We are talking of course about wingers.

Brighton have been blessed with some fantastic wide men through the years. We have had pace merchants who would simply burst past a full back like Stuart Storer. Tricksters like Nathan Jones who were all stepovers and flicks.

Players who could deliver a pinpoint cross like Darren Currie. And of course Anthony Knockaert who could quite literally do everything, the proud owner of a skillset that made him genuinely unstoppable on his day.

This week’s WAB Friday Quiz has been turned over to all the great wingers who have pulled on the blue and white down the years, leaving you with 20 questions to answer about some of the most talented and popular players in Albion history.
