The WAB Friday Quiz #86

November 5, 2020 WeAreBrighton.com 0 Comments

It is Brighton v Burnley this weekend, a game synonymous with red cards thanks to the two that referee Craig Pawson flashed inside the opening 20 minutes of the Clarets’ visit to the Amex in 2011.

We love a good sending off here at WAB Towers; the more ridiculous, the better. The good news is that Brighton have long specialised in this particular department, from Ashley Barnes tripping up referees to Colin Hawkins getting dismissed 120 seconds after he had come on in a tactical reshuffle because Tommy Elphick had been sent off.

This week’s WAB Friday Quiz pays homage to some of these wonderful moments with 20 questions dedicated to Brighton & Hove Albion red cards through the years.
