On this episode of the SO Legal podcast, we were honoured to welcome Dick Knight – the man who brought Brighton and Hove Albion back from the brink of extinction.

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.
