Alex Revell - Leading the Line

01/03/20 • 37 min

Brighton & Hove Albion plucked Alex Revell from non-league Braintree in 2006, and the tireless striker led the line at Withdean for 18 months before a surprise move to Southend United in January 2008.

Although not prolific during his time with the Seagulls, Revell's unflinching work-rate made him extremely popular with team-mates and Albion fans alike.

He enjoyed notable success at Rotherham later in his career; his play-off final wonder-goal against Leyton Orient helping the Millers achieve promotion to the Championship.
