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

I think I was 7 or 8 and my mum took me to the Goldstone. I think we won 2-1 but I can’t remember who we were playing. I remember the noise and the atmosphere though!

Who was your first Albion idol?

Peter Ward.

What was your favourite match?

Probably against Doncaster, first game at the Amex in 2011. We were finally home again!

And your favourite season supporting Albion?

2010-11 when we were promoted from League One, our last season at Withdean. We were just amazing that season.

What are your favourite home and away shirts?

My favourite home shirt was the 1999-00 skint home shirt and favourite away the green and black 2011-13 shirts. I’ve got about 160 Albion shirts in total.

What is your all-time Albion XI?

Kuipers; Bridge, El-Abd, Dunk, Bruno; LuaLua, Kishishev, Vincente, Knockaert, Zamora, Ward.
