Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. are an English football team based in the city of Brighton & Hove, East Sussex. They are currently playing in the Football League Championship but will be playing in Football League One in the 2006/07 season after their relegation. The team are nicknamed 'Seagulls' as befits a sea-side club and partially as a response to the similar sounding nickname ('Eagles') of their arch rivals Crystal Palace, rather than the more obvious seaside link. The team play in blue and white stripes.
Founded in 1901, Brighton played their early professional football in the Southern League. They were elected to the Football League in 1920. Between 1979 and 1983 they were in the old First Division. In 1983 they reached the final of the FA Cup, which they lost 4-0 to Manchester United after replay. They were relegated from the First Division in the same season. But over the next decade or so, financial problems dragged the Seagulls down the league and in 1997 they narrowly avoided relegation to the Conference. A boardroom takeover saved Brighton from going out of business, and by 2001 they had climbed out of the basement division. A second successive promotion was achieved, but they were relegated after just one season. Promotion was gained at the first attempt, but the Seagulls went down again two years later.
Well known former managers of the Seagulls include Jimmy Melia, Barry Lloyd, Liam Brady, Steve Gritt, Micky Adams, Peter Taylor and Steve Coppell. Well known former players include Tony Grealish, Jimmy Case, Steve Foster, Dean Saunders, Gary Stevens, Bobby Zamora and Martin Keown.
