Speaking to BBC Radio Sussex’s Albion Unlimited, former Brighton midfielder Liam Bridcutt recalls players of influence when he joined the Seagulls in 2010.

“The big one was Gordon Greer. Even to this day he was my favourite captain I’ve ever had. Probably one of my favourite players to have behind me. He never let you rest. He knew the better I did, the easier his game was. He would constantly be on you.

“He was very intelligent. He was very good technically – not the quickest but you’d never see him get run. That was from his leadership skills in terms of organising people around him to be in the right place.

“When I first went in – he’s quite aggressive with his tone – we clashed quite a bit. By the end of it, I still speak to him now. We both had a great understanding of one another and expected high standards from ourselves and everyone around us.

“He was the right person at the right time in my career in that I needed him and he wasn’t going to let me rest in terms of barking orders at me.”
