The WAB Friday Quiz #151

In the week that Tony Bloom turned 52, we have decided to turn the WAB Friday Quiz over to the chairman and benefactor of Brighton & Hove Albion.

Where would the Seagulls be without Mr Bloom? Not in the Premier League, that is for sure. His billionaire fortune has paid for the Albion to rise from League One to become established in the top flight of English football.

As the bloke who stepped in to pay for the Amex to be built when Dick Knight’s original plans of borrowing the money went awry following the financial crash, we might well have been stuck at Withdean for much longer without Bloom’s money.

Bloom has been steering the good ship Brighton for 12 years now. These 20 questions focus on some of the key figures and big events from his spell at the helm.

These have been some of the best times that Albion fans have known. How much about them can you remember? Time to find out.
