Episode description
Cold Feet and Downton Abbey star Robert Bathurst reveals how one Brighton match changed everything and why his love for the Seagulls runs deeper than ever.
Robert tells us how a trip to the Withdean back in 2009 got him hooked on football again and kicked off his lifelong love for Albion.
From muddy kickabouts as a kid and watching George Best work his magic, to seeing Brighton’s amazing rise from the lower leagues to European nights, he shares all the ups and downs of being a fan.
We also learn about Robert's early career, the life changing job he turned down and how football and theatre bring people together.
