Solly March has established himself as a Brighton & Hove Albion player after a remarkable rise from Non-League football. The versatile Gulls winger has made over 200 appearances at the Amex after signing from Lewes in 2011.
However, March could have been lining up in black and white, rather than blue and white. The 28-year-old was invited to St. James' Park by Alan Pardew, but passed out before setting foot on the pitch.
The then 17-year-old was overcome by nerves, but was given a second chance to showcase his talents. Brighton would beat the Magpies to his signature.
