The WAB Friday Quiz #136

With Jason Steele set to make his Premier League debut for Brighton away at Aston Villa, what better excuse to bust out when of our favourite WAB Friday Quiz rounds – goalkeepers.

They are the players who (are meant to) keep the ball out of the back of the net. Some like Michel Kuipers and Ben Roberts were very successful at it. Others like Graeme Smith and Simon Royce, less so.

Brighton have been blessed with a mixture of excellent, rubbish and downright entertaining goalkeepers through the years. The suspicion is that Steele will fall into the latter category, which should at least make trip to Villa Park interesting if nothing else.

He already has his own question in this week’s quiz. Will he write himself into Albion folklore with a memorable performance meaning an even better question coming around next time these 20 questions tackle goalkeepers?

Who knows – but now is the time to find out exactly how much you remember about Brighton ‘keepers past and present.
