Albion legend Gordon Smith wants to make a dramatic return to the club and help them back into the top flight of English football.
Smith has applied to become the ambitious Seagulls’ next chief executive.
The Scot’s strong Albion connections during the glory days of the early 1980s and impressive CV make him one of the front-runners for the coveted post.
Smith, 57, made more than 100 appearances for Albion in the old First Division between 1980 and 1983.
He became famous for a last-gasp chance to win the 1983 FA Cup final at Wembley, when his shot was saved by Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Bailey.
