The terrace anthem for the Seagulls, Good Old Sussex by the Sea fills the Amex Stadium before every Brighton and Hove Albion match. One of English football's oldest club anthems, it has been BHAFC's war cry for over a century. Brighton chants and songs don't get more famed than this, learn the lyrics and sing along with the crowd.
