The number 9 is Albion centre-forward Dennis Windross who cost £1,000 from Middlesbrough in November that season. The Yorkshireman had a purple patch of four goals in five games around the turn of the year during the campaign, including a goal against League champions Burnley in the FA Cup. However, the goals completely dried up after this and he lost his place in the side in early April. Brighton finished in 16th position in Division Two.

Out of favour, Windross was swopped for Darlington’s Bobby Baxter in the summer.
