Albion's players celebrate promotion to the Premier League.

What was your first Albion game, what was the score and what do you remember about it?

I was 7 years old and I went on a trip with my football team and it was against Burnley in the 2015/16 season and we drew 2-2. That was when I decided I wanted to be a Brighton fan.
 
Who was your first Albion idol?

Anthony Knockaert because he would always score and play really well, beat players and do amazing tricks.
 
What is your favourite Albion game and why?

It is when we played Wigan, the game we needed to get promoted to the Premier League and Glenn Murray scored the first and then Solly March got the second and I knew we were in the Premier League. Afterwards I remember everyone running on the field and a massive pitch invasion.
 
Which season stands out your favourite?

The 2017/2018 season because it was our first season in the Premier League and because we scored in the Premier League for the very first time when we beat West Brom at the Amex.


 
Which are your favourite Albion home and away shirts?

My favourite home shirt is this season’s 2019- 2020 shirt and my favourite away shirt is the black away shirt from the 2016-2017 season because it looked cool and it was my first ever away shirt.
 
What is your favourite Albion XI? 

Maty Ryan, Lewis Dunk, Shane Duffy, Liam Rosenior, Bruno, Anthony Knockaert, Solly March, Dale Stephens, Beram Kayal, Glenn Murray, Sam Baldock.
