Danny's jobless.
Brighton are homeless.
Everything feels hopeless.
It's the summer of 1996 and sixteen-year-old Danny has fled the pain of secondary school as quickly as his dad has fled the family home. He doesn't know what his future holds, his only ambition being to earn enough money to follow Brighton & Hove Albion up and down the country. The future of his beloved Seagulls is equally uncertain - the club's board have sold their 96-year-old home, The Goldstone Ground, without a plan for what's next and the fans are furious.
This excellent tale will bring back memories for many, and is thoroughly recommended to those who were too young to be there as we battled to save the club.

This amazing story highlights how important that season was for every Brighton fan. It stirred a lot of great memories.
Paul McDonald, Brighton winger, 1996-97
