The WAB Friday Quiz #145

This week’s challenge at WeAreBrighton.com Towers: Work out if there were enough links between Brighton and Africa to do an Africa-themed WAB Friday Quiz in honour of AFCON.

Turns out there are more than enough. From the Albion’s greatest ever goal scorer Tommy Cook to cult hero Emeka Ifejiagwa to Yves Bissouma in the modern day, the Seagulls have a long and proud relationship with the African continent.

These 20 questions reflect that. Most come from the 2st century thanks to Brighton’s status and wealth meaning they can scour the globe for the very best talent, but you still might learn something new whilst taking on this week’s quiz.

Oh, and for regulars who like to keep tabs on the players that feature the most – yes, there is another question about the great Georges Santos. Enjoy.
