Brighton Up tells the story of how Brighton & Hove Albion
Football Club bounced back from the heartbreak of missing out on
promotion to the Premier League by the narrowest of margins, to
achieve that ultimate goal earlier this month. Acclaimed sports
journalist Nick Szczepanik, a lifelong Brighton fan with strong
contacts at the club, documents its travails over two turbulent
seasons. The book explains how the Seagulls, written off as
certainties for relegation to League One before the 2015–16
season, overcame the loss of one of their own in the Shoreham Air
Show tragedy to go on a record unbeaten run. But although top
scorers in the Championship, they fell agonisingly short of their
target of automatic promotion by a single goal, then lost out again
in the lottery of the play-offs. The football world expected them
to be crushed by disappointment and outspent by the big guns of
Newcastle, Norwich and Aston Villa, but instead they regrouped and
came back stronger in 2016–17. Led by experienced and inscrutable
manager Chris Hughton and backed by owner Tony Bloom – the
worldclass poker player nicknamed 'The Lizard' for his ice-cold
blood – they played with a determination not to let the
heartbreak happen again.
