wins, grins & limbs: a poetic review of brighton & hove albion’s historic 22/23 season

The story of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club’s resurgence from near oblivion in the late 1990s has become legendary within English football. Now widely recognised as one of the best-run clubs in the English Premier League, the 22/23 season saw the Albion achieve a record sixth-place finish and, in doing so, qualify for European football for the first time by way of the UEFA Europa League.

Wins, Grins & Limbs is a poetic account of this historic season through the eyes of @TheBrightonBard - a US-based Brit and ex-season ticket holder, who called Brighton & Hove his home for over 30 years before moving to the Great Plains of Oklahoma.

This unique book delivers a minute-by-minute account of each of the 46 matches via 15 in-match rhymes that document every goal, near-miss, booking (and poor VAR call!) that Brighton & Hove Albion experienced throughout this ultimately glorious season.

Supplemented by over 250 full-colour official photographs, the book is a ’must-read’ for any Brighton & Hove Albion fan who wants to relive this fantastic season for years to come.
