Brighton Up: Sports journalist and lifelong Albion fan Nick Szczepanik details two seasons in the history of the club that will never be forgotten. The Seagulls fell agonisingly short of their Premier League target by just one goal in the 2015/16 season, before they regrouped and reached the top flight for the first time in 34 years in 2016/17.

Brighton boss Chris Hughton, chief executive Paul Barber and several players give their thoughts about the two seasons - the near miss and then the elation of the following campaign.

It costs £13.68 on Amazon here.

Micky Adams - My life in football: Adams will always be remembered fondly by Brighton fans for guiding the club to promotion from Division 3 in their second season playing at Withdean.

Adams shares plenty of stories in his autobiography and admits he possibly should have stayed with the Seagulls, rather than leave for the assistant manager's job at Leicester.
