#brightonandhovealbion #podcast Setbacks, big characters and defining moments - he's lived every one. In this episode of the official BHA podcast, Paul Hayward and Adam Virgo sit down with former Seagulls defender Guy Butters, a key part of Albion’s defence during the early 2000's. Guy shares brilliant behind the scenes stories from his early days, including training alongside Gazza and learning the realities of professional football as a young apprentice. They discuss the unique challenges of playing at the Withdean Stadium, promotion pushes, dressing room leadership and a squad built on grit and strong personalities. Today, Guy continues to make a huge impact off the pitch through his work with the Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation, using football to support communities across Sussex, from disability teams and youth mental health programmes to rehabilitation work in prisons.
