The WAB Friday Quiz #153

April 15, 2022 WeAreBrighton.com 0 Comments

It is a very simple premise for the WAB Friday Quiz to kick off your Easter Weekend as we bring you another round of Find the Links.

We have given you a set of three Brighton players, managers, opponents or Albion-related numbers. All you have to do is work out the link between them.

So, if you know what common thread binds together Mark McGhee, Micky Adams and Gus Poyet or the years 1973, 1987 and 2006 then you are laughing.

We had some big scores in last week’s WAB Friday Quiz on famous Brighton goals and we are expecting similar this time around – no pressure or anything.
