He’s fought for the club, chronicled its history and now shares his story in a new book. In this episode, Glenn Murray and Adam Virgo sit down with lifelong Brighton & Hove Albion supporter, broadcaster and author, Ian Hart to reflect on over five decades of following the Seagulls, from near extinction to European nights. Ian takes us back to the turbulent mid 90s, when the club’s very existence was under threat. From the sale of the Goldstone Ground to the fight to save Albion, he shares first hand memories of the “football war” that shaped a generation of fans and ultimately secured the club’s future. We explore the emotional highs and lows of Hereford, the great escape, promotion to the Premier League and unforgettable European trips, alongside the characters who defined those eras. #brightonandhovealbion #podcast
