One of the great things about the Football League Review, was the extent of the coverage across all teams in the Football League. You were just as likely to see a picture of the current Rochdale squad, as you were the players of Manchester United.
Brighton were featured regularly throughout the life of the magazine and thanks to some heroic research by Albion fan John Wells, we can provide a list of all mentions of the club, from Volume One in 1966/67, right through the to the last season, when the magazine was called ‘League Football’, Volume Nine in 1974/75.
