Former Leeds United goalkeeper Mark Beeney has spoken about the time he 'saved' Brighton from going under when he was forced to move to Elland Road against his wishes.
In the early 1990s, the Seagulls were up to their eyeballs in debt and with their drop down to what is now known as League One, everything was pointing to the club eventually having to fold after they were getting into trouble with the High Court for their overspending.
But that all changed when Beeney was, unknowingly to him, sold to the Whites for £350,000 in April 1993 - this was back when transfer windows went up until late March - and told by then-Brighton boss Barry Lloyd.
