The WAB Friday Quiz #186

This Saturday was supposed to see Brighton reunited with former head coach Graham Potter. We had a lovely WAB Friday Quiz lined up on Albion managers to celebrate the occasion.

Then Potter managed to get himself sacked after seven months in charge at Stamford Bridge. Good news for his bank balance, bad news for his reputation and potentially awful news for this quiz.

But sod it, we are going to plough ahead anyway. It is what Graham would have wanted and managers quizzes tend to be amongst the most popular we do.

So here we go. 20 questions on Brighton head coaches over the past 70 years. Enjoy… and try and feel some sympathy for Glow Up whilst you take part.
