The WAB Friday Quiz #75

August 19, 2020August 19, 2020 WeAreBrighton.com 0 Comments

We are not sure if you have noticed, but Brighton & Hove Albion have a lot of defenders on their books. As in well over £100 million worth.

Lewis Dunk. Adam Webster. Ben White. Dan Burn. Tariq Lamptey. Martin Montoya. Bernardo. Shane Duffy. Joel Veltman. Matt Clarke. Leo Ostigard. Haydon Roberts.

We have no doubt missed somebody glaringly obvious out of that little list as well. The riches on offer to Graham Potter are a far cry from the days of Darren Carr, Glenn Thomas and the great Colin Hawkins.

In honour of the Albion’s strength in defensive depth, we are taking a stroll down memory lane with this week’s WAB Friday Quiz. It is a defenders special with 20 questions looking at everyone from Steve Foster and Danny Cullip to Emeka Ifejiagwa and of course, the Hawk himself.
