Look out for our souvenir programme against Ajax

To commemorate our debut season of European football, we will again be producing an 84-page souvenir matchday programme for the visit of Ajax on Thursday.

Former Ajax player Joel Veltman is the cover star for our programme against Ajax.

The programme boasts an impressive 80 pages of content and includes a stunning, specially commissioned giant Euro-themed poster of Kaoru Mitoma from Brighton-based illustrator Jamie Eke.

Cover star Joel Veltman tells us about his playing days at Ajax, likewise Ray Clarke, who starred for both clubs over 40 years ago.

Keeping with the Dutch theme, we recall the impact of Albion cult hero Hans Kraay at the Goldstone Ground while, bringing things more up to date, Jan Paul van Hecke is relishing the chance to play compatriots Ajax again.

Look out for our Kaoru Mitoma artwork poster in Thursday's programme.

Elsewhere, Jason Steele tells us about his days as a ballboy for Middlesbrough’s UEFA Cup side of 2005/06 and Royal Blood drummer Ben Thatcher reveals his long-distance Europa League support.

For all this and much more, make sure to pick up your copy of the matchday programme, priced £5, at the stadium on Thursday or purchase online at shop.brightonandhovealbion.com/gifts/souvenirs/programmes/

Look out for our next souvenir edition for the visit of Marseille on 14 December.
