‘Absolute legend’ and ‘a true gentleman’ – fan’s on Gross exit

Following the news of Pascal Gross‘ Brighton departure, we asked you to have your say on his move and for your favourite memories from his seven years at the club.

Here are a selection of your responses:

Daniel: Pascal Gross will go down as one the best players to put on the Brighton shirt. Absolute legend. Played in various positions when asked. Always gave everything. Will be missed. No more Cruyff turns!

Chrissyboy: What a model professional. I’m very sorry to see Pascal leave but it’s likely a very good move given the stage of his career. So many fantastic memories – difficult to pinpoint one in particular but his Cruyff-esque turns always got people off their seats.

Craig: My favourite player of all players ever, his intelligence on the ball was incredible and we will never see so many players stuffed by the ‘Gross turn’ again. I really hope they retire his number as I believe that would be a fitting tribute.

Artstoneme: Pascal Gross was a true gentleman and I saw how he talked to young children outside the ground after games. I am immensely proud that he played for my team and that my team have acted with such class as his time on the South Coast ends.

Charlie: Our best signing of the Premier League era. Every Cruyff turn, every goal against Manchester United, every time he was on the pitch he gave us something special. I’m convinced he’s the reason we stayed afloat in the Premier League those first few seasons! I doubt we’ll find a like-for-like replacement for him – there’s only one Pascal Gross.

Brian: So sad to see Pascal go, but equally grateful for having such a passionate and skilful player for the past seven seasons. I’m sure every Albion fan will wish him the very best of luck at Dortmund, and just be sorry we couldn’t give him a proper send off. Brighton legend.
