Brighton and Hove Albion History Map - Every Era in Order

My Brighton and Hove Albion history map is a football wall art print showing the club's history as a tube map, designed as a gift for fans of the Seagulls. Each major era and milestone sits on the map as a station, and the players, managers and grounds that shaped each chapter run as tube lines connecting the moments they belonged to, from the club's foundation in 1901 through the Goldstone Ground years, the wilderness, Withdean, and the rise to the Premier League at the Amex.

When I'm researching a Brighton and Hove Albion history map this detailed, I work from club records, match archives and decades of fan-collected history. As a Sussex-based designer living down the road from the Amex, this is one of the most personal maps I've made. The Brighton map traces the full arc of the club from its foundation through the Goldstone Ground era including the 1983 FA Cup Final, the financial crisis and the loss of the Goldstone in 1997, the years at Gillingham's Priestfield, the long Withdean Stadium chapter, the move to the Amex Stadium in 2011, the Tony Bloom-era promotion to the Premier League under Chris Hughton in 2017, the Graham Potter era, the Roberto De Zerbi years and qualification for European football, with named lines for the players, managers and moments that defined each chapter.

A Football Wall Art Print Gift for Brighton and Hove Albion Fans

This is the kind of art print that rewards a close look. Fans tracing the club's arc from the foundation through the Goldstone, the wilderness, Withdean, the Amex and the Premier League era will see exactly which players and managers shaped each chapter. It hangs as a football map on a feature wall, a lounge, a home office, a man cave or a kid's bedroom, and works as a milestone gift for any long-term Seagulls fan.

I print every map on archival paper using a Giclée process, in A1 and A2 landscape formats, framed or unframed. You can browse the full Other Tube Maps collection for related local and sports maps.
