In part two of our podcast with Dick Knight, we talk about his time as chairman of Brighton and Hove Albion FC - including transfer negotiations, signing Bobby Zamora, securing American Express as the sponsor for the new stadium, and more.
Recorded at an earlier date before lockdown, we hear the story of how the maverick advertising guru behind Wonderbra's famous 'Hello Boys' poster campaign saved a football club in crisis and overcame the hurdles of bureaucracy and planning that stood in the way of building a new stadium.
Dick remains life president of the club and wrote a book about his experiences ‘Mad Man: From the Gutter to the Stars’ - a first-hand account of guiding the club from near-relegation and homelessness to a bright future at the American Express Community Stadium.
