    Against the Odds with Mark McGhee
    Jun 24 2025
    Today, we’re joined by a man whose name is firmly etched in Albion history, Mark McGhee. A former Scottish international with a distinguished playing career at clubs like Newcastle, Aberdeen and Celtic, Mark carried that same drive and determination into management. Appointed Brighton manager in 2003, he guided the club to a memorable play-off promotion in his very first season, leading the team through one of its most challenging periods, all without a permanent home. Mark’s impact helped lay the foundations for the Brighton we know today and we’re delighted to have him with us to look back on those defining years and share stories from an extraordinary football journey.
