Mainly included as a surprising fan in lieu of any real competition, combined with the fact that his name will almost certainly prompt confused Google searches from anyone under a certain age, Des Lynam was a shoo-in as the club's entry on this list. Lynam is such a big Seagulls fan that he was offered a place on the board of directors in the 1990s.

A prolific presenter on both TV and radio, Lynam covered a variety of sports during his broadcasting career, including hosting Match of The Day for more than ten years and fronting ITV's Premier League coverage in the early 2000s, before later hanging up his microphone.
