The Story

Charlie Oatway is widely regarded as one of Brighton & Hove Albion's greatest modern players and captains. A commanding presence in midfield and defence, Oatway became synonymous with the club's remarkable rise from difficult circumstances during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

This shirt features the famous Palookaville sponsor, promoting the 2004 album by Brighton's own Norman Cook, better known worldwide as Fatboy Slim. The partnership created one of the most distinctive and collectable sponsorships in Brighton's history, combining the city's football club with one of its most famous musical exports.

The shirt represents a unique crossover between football, music and Brighton culture, making it one of the most sought after Albion shirts amongst collectors.
