The WAB Friday Quiz #96

January 22, 2021January 22, 2021 WeAreBrighton.com 0 Comments

Fans of squad numbers, this week’s WAB Friday Quiz is for you as we have put together 20 questions on the squad numbering system since it was first introduced for the 1999-00 season.

There is something quite geeky about knowing who wore number 17 for the final few months of the 2001-02 season (it was Phil Hadland, FYI) and yet there are loads of Albion fans who have this sort of ridiculous knowledge.

I struggle to remember when my partners birthday is, but get me started on players who have worn number 20 for Brighton and I can take you from Solly March back to Steve Melton.

None of the questions in the quiz are as hard as to include the likes of Hadland and Melton. There are some teasers thrown in there though that will test if you know your Brighton squad numbers as well as you might think you do. Enjoy.
