The WAB Friday Quiz #130

October 1, 2021 WeAreBrighton.com 0 Comments

Happy October. It is a month when historically, interesting stuff always seems to happen to Brighton & Hove Albion and so for this week’s WAB Friday Quiz, we have dedicated it to October.

There have been countless managerial changes in the 10th month of the year. Some of the most famous games in Albion history have taken place in October.

Big name players have come and gone. And then there was that strange period between XXXX and XXXX when the Albion went xx years without winning a game in October. Sorry, that is one of the questions so you will need to work it out for yourselves.

Fingers crossed for a quieter October than normal in 2021. Although with Neal Maupay against Arsenal to start the month, chances of that seem slim…
