The WAB Friday Quiz #157

It came as a surprise to absolutely nobody to discover on Monday evening that Marc Cucurella had been voted as Brighton 2021-22 Player of the Season.

The wild-haired Spaniard has been absolutely superb from the moment he arrived for £15 million from Getafe back in August.

Whether it be rampaging down the left to create opportunities for teammates or being a part of an Albion backline with a very impressive defensive record, he has shone no matter the role.

Cucurella is of course not the first Spaniard to be taken to the hearts of Brighton fans. In honour of his crowning as Player of the Year, we are using this week’s WAB Friday Quiz to look back at some of the other great (and not so great) players from Spain who have pulled on the stripes through the years.

So, we present to you our Spanish-themed Albion quiz. Disfrutar!
