We Are Brighton tells fantastic tale - told through the lens of photographer Bennett Dean and in the words of Paul Hazlewood and Simon Levenson - of how Brighton & Hove Albion won back-to-back Championships in 2001 and 2002. The book captures it all: the promotion-clinching win at Plymouth, Danny Cullip's towering header that finally put Chesterfield to the sword, the memorable scenes as Albion toured the city and thousands filled the streets to pay tribute - and that's just the first half, the second details the assault on the Second Division which of course had the same glorious outcome. Two of the greatest seasons in the club's long history and a must for all Albion fans.
Similarly, We Are Brighton Play Off Special is the full-colour follow-up book which covers the Seagulls' successful promotion season of 2003/04, when the club won promotion via the play-off final at the Millennium Stadium.
Readers' Praise for We Are Brighton
"A must have book for all fans of the seagulls. Told in pictures it tells the account of the 2000-01 and 2001-02 football campaigns. The most succssful 2 years in the clubs history saw Brighton winning back to back championships. In this book follow the ups and downs of the two seasons from the 2-0 defeat away to Southend at the start of the 2000-01 campaign through the 1-0 win at home to Chesterfield to win the Divison 3 title, and on to the win away to Port Vale at the end of the 2001-02 campaign. Every game is here, and if you was too then this book will bring it all back. If you missed the last two years then this will show you what you missed and ensure that you make it this year."
"This book is an excellent portrayal of the fantastic back to back championships achieved by Brighton and Hove Albion, despite playing at a small athletics ground. This book should top the wish lists of any real Albion fan, with large black and white photos and quotes from players, fans, media and management, this book is a great recollection of the glorious start Brighton made to the 21st century. The eras of Micky Adams and Peter Taylor are shown match by match an will help any supporter relive those special matches from Kuipers, Watson, Mayo, Cullip, Morgan, Carpenter, Oatway, Hart, Brooker, Jones, Steele and Super Bob Zamora."
