The WAB Friday Quiz #90

The noughties was an exciting decade to be a Brighton & Hove Albion supporter. Three promotions, two relegations and a host of great (and not so great) players doing their best to entertain the Withdean crowd every week

This week’s WAB Friday Quiz pays homage to it all with 20 questions about the individuals and events which shaped the Albion during the 2000s.

From the highs of the Division Three and Division Two title winning campaigns to the lows of losing 12 games in a row; from the Millennium Stadium to relegation under McGhee and the arrival of Gus Poyet; this quiz will not only test your knowledge of the noughties but hopefully bring back some great memories too.

The only thing missing is a little bit of Colin Hawkins. Sorry fans of The Hawk, but we cannot have him in every quiz…
