In the 2000/01 season, Bobby Zamora became the heartbeat of Brighton & Hove Albion’s rise. Signed from Bristol Rovers, he exploded into form in the Third Division, scoring goals with a calmness beyond his years. His movement was sharp, his finishing ruthless — the kind that made Brighton fans believe promotion wasn’t just a dream. Zamora’s 28 league goals fired the Seagulls to the title, turning him into a cult hero on the south coast and setting the stage for his meteoric climb through English football.
