Brighton, a coastal city in the south of England, is one of the few "hideaways" in the UK. Unlike the rainy traditional British cities, it has a different "romantic" atmosphere from the traditional British cities. The bright sun and sand also make the city the first choice for many British gentlemen and ladies to spend their holidays.
Many travelers to Brighton fantasize about buying a house in Kempton, the famous actor Kate. Blanchett, former Beatles member Paul Blanchett. Performing arts celebrities such as McCartney and Chinese film star Fan Bingbing have their own holiday villas here, and those white George-style villas have become the most beautiful scenery in the city.
However, this literary and artistic city ushered in the madness and passion of football on April 17th, and in the cheers of more than 20,000 spectators at the Farmar Stadium (Meitong Stadium), "Seagull" Brighton spread his wings and flew high, beating Wigan Athletic to the Premier League three rounds ahead of schedule with a score of 2-1. The victory also marked the team's return to England's top professional league after a gap of 34 years.
Despite its long history, Brighton, founded in 1901, is a well-deserved "grassroots team" in the current football world, but in the last century, Brighton was a "southern force" that Cannot be underestimated in English football. As the founding team of the Premier League's predecessor , the Southern League , Brighton won the Charity Shield in 1910 against then-Banba Aston Villa.
The 1970s and 1980s were the golden age of Brighton; amateur musician and real estate developer Mike Lee. Bambe officially joined Brighton, known as the Seagull, in 1970, and in 1973 he brought in England's famous manager Brian. Clough, and Clough also became the leader of the golden age of the "seagull".
Brian. Born in 1935 to an ordinary working family in Middlesbrough, on the south bank of the Titz River, Clough played for Middlesbrough and the "Black Cat" Sunderland team as a player; especially in his hometown team Middlesbrough, he set a crazy record of 197 goals in 213 games, and then moved to Sunderland, scoring 54 goals in 61 league games. On 26 December 1962, during a match against Berry, Clough collided with goalkeeper Chris Hack and was eventually diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament. The level of medical technology at that time was very limited, so the injury almost ended Clough's playing career. Two years later, he returned to the game and retired after only 3 appearances.
In October 1965, Clough officially began his coaching career at Hartlepool United (now renamed Hartlepool United). Peter Taylor became its assistant coach. Clough was only 30 years old at the time and was the youngest manager in the English league.
On 15 November 1966, Ernest Odder, then president of the club, dismissed Clough and Taylor. Oder is rumored to be keen to fight with several coaches, including Clough and Taylor. After class, the two planned a board coup, which eventually led to Oder being removed from the club's chairmanship and eventually allowing the two to remain in office.
In May 1967, Clough and Taylor joined Derby County as managers and assistant coaches, and in derby County's second season he led the team all the way to the end of the defeat at the feet of Leeds United, and Crave, who was still a "small character" at the time, blamed Leeds United manager Don after the game. Rivie's team "plays roughly" while "big guy" Don. Rivie is also tit-for-tat against the two of them arguing and almost fighting.

A year later, Clough led his Derby County back to League One (now premier league) and took perfect revenge against Leeds United.
Three years later, Clough led Derby County to a Championship title and into the European Cup.
In the 1979–80 season, Clough coached the little-known Nottingham Forest team to win the championship in the 1-0 dark horse Malmö in the UEFA Champions League; and this also marked the completion of the English club's "three consecutive champions" in the Champions League.
Clough's legendary experience was later made into a movie titled Devil's United.

Beginning in Clough, brightening ushered in the pinnacle of club history in the late 1970s and early 1980s. In 1979 they were then managers of the england former international Aaron. Under Mullelli's leadership, he rushed to the league one, which was then the top league, and played in the top league for 4 consecutive seasons.
But with the change of team management, in the 1982\83 season, Brighton ushered in an awkward and unforgettable year, they were ranked first from the bottom of that season, tragically relegated, but at the same time as the league was in a mess, the team dramatically reached the FA Cup final, and drew 2-2 with Manchester United in the final, had to let the Red Devils win and lose with him in the replay, and finally Brighton lost 0-4 in the final, ending that dramatic season.
Brighton then deteriorated, and in the 1996\97 season, Brighton, which had fallen to the lowest league in the professional league, was even in danger of falling out of the professional league completely, and on the last matchday of that season, they drew 1-1 with their opponents, relying on the slight advantage of the number of goals to barely relegate. Over the next 15 years, Brighton, who had changed top management, gradually recovered and gradually gained a foothold in the Championship.
Last season, Brighton scored 89 points under coach Chris Hughton, but missed the opportunity to directly overtake with a goal difference deficit, and brighton were eliminated by Sheffield Wednesday on two legs in the promotion play-offs. For most of the year, the "Seagull" has also been playing the role of silently chasing after the "Magpie" Newcastle; until the last month, Newcastle was affected by fatigue and there was a wave of 3-round winlessness, and Brighton took the opportunity to face the difficulties and successfully overtake the opponent to get the lead.
From the brink of relegation in previous years to the return to the top flight, this "astute blue" from the south of England seems to bring our memories back to last May. At that time, it was also a touch of blue, adding a brilliant and colorful stroke to the world of football. Ordinary casts greatness, in today's "grassroots culture" prevails, we are moved by countless inspirational stories, but also by such a hand, a pepper and other live broadcast platforms are exhausted; countless people for the economic effects brought by grassroots culture flock to it, and the diligent accumulation behind grassroots culture and ten years of persistence have become a gray area that is not concerned.
At a time when "grassroots culture" wrapped in gold dollars is prevalent, stories like Leicester and Brighton will become more precious.
