From the Stands to the Boardroom: The Dick Knight Story! (with Sam Thomas)

  • Summary

  • “Surround yourself with good people, you can't do it on your own! You can do incredible things, especially if you’re #determined, #enthusiastic and have a will to win" — Dick Knight 🙏⚽

    In this final special pre-launch episode, created in collaboration with Sam Thomas from Different Hats, Gary Peters and Sam share incredible insights from Dick Knight, Life President of Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club .

    Dick always knew Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club would be a big club, even when they were at the brink of extinction when he took over in 1997. The Goldstone Ground had just been sold and the club were just two games away from being relegated out of the Football League.

    Led by Dick and surrounded by some incredible people who literally gave their all, the club not only avoided relegation but went on to create one of the biggest success stories football has ever seen. Twelve years later in 2009, construction had started on a 23,000 seater stadium and the club had won three promotions in four seasons.

    ...and just look at them now. Incredible! 🚀 #Europe The Premier League

    We can’t wait for you to hear his story of growing up and how he came to lead the charge at the most important time in the clubs history. Thank you for the exclusives Dick, what a story you have to tell…can’t wait for part two! 🎥
