Kevin Bremner – The Seagull Has Landed
By 1989, Brighton were no longer regulars in the weekly national magazines, so any coverage was like gold dust.
In Shoot! Magazine, he said:
“It’s all very relaxed down here and even when I was sent-off pre-season nothing much was said about it. Manager Barry Lloyd loves to play entertaining, attacking football so wherever we go and whatever the score, it’s tally-ho, forward we go.”
After being in his strike-partner’s shadow for a couple of seasons, Kevin Bremner certainly did turn the tables on Garry Nelson in 1989/90, getting twelve League goals compared to his striking counterpart’s five. Nelson was hampered by injury from February onwards, which opened the way to Sergei Gotsmanov’s arrival.
Spotlight on Brighton
Full of optimism here. However, a wretched run of one win in the last ten Division Two games puts paid to the promotion push in 1985/86 and cost Chris Cattlin his job.
Note how much Dennis Mortimer resembles Gordon Greer!
Fred Binney – in Focus
Shoot! magazine’s famous ‘Focus’ feature sets its sights on goal-poacher Fred Binney. Nothing quite dates this article more than that groovy font for Fred’s name.
Biggest disappointment? ‘The performances of Brighton during 1974/75 and 1975/76.’ Interesting!
