The WAB Friday Quiz #135

November 12, 2021 WeAreBrighton.com 0 Comments

Like six degrees of separation, but not as good. That is how somebody once described our WAB Friday Quiz when it is based on Albion connections.

The premise is simple. We give you three former or current Brighton players, managers (and in this case, opposition clubs too) and you simply have to work out the link between them.

Some will be easy. Some will be hard. And some will be quite eye opening if you have never, ever thought of putting Clive Walker, Adam Virgo and Jesse Lingard together before.
