.. Brighton's Brooker in the bag? (07/06/03)


Brighton's left winger Paul Brooker looks set to sign for Leicester within the next couple of days.

Speaking to the Argus, Brighton's local rag, Brooker has admitted he is unsure whether he is good enough for the Premiership though!

"It has come completely out of the blue, but I am absolutely thrilled by it," Brooker said.

"I have always wanted to play in the Premiership. I don't know if I am good enough, but there is only one way to find out.

"It's a massive step up from the First Division, the biggest step between all the divisions. I am not kidding myself, but I have got to give it a go."

"Some of the grounds are unbelievable," he said.

"You dream about playing at them and I will look forward to playing against international and world class players. I'll enjoy the whole experience."

Brooker played at Filbert Way in April. He said:

"It's an unbelievable stadium. I haven't played in many like that. It was fantastic, one of the best I have been in. The playing surface is beautiful and hopefully I will be playing on it a few times next season!

"I think everyone at Leicester knows it is going to be a hard season. They did extremely well in Division One, but this is another level.

"I am sure Micky will be buying players with Premiership experience over the next few weeks and hopefully we can survive."

Londoner Brooker, who is 26, was signed by Adams for Brighton from Fulham for £25,000 three years ago, and scored 13 goals in 119 League games for the Seagulls during their rise from the Third Division to the First. He was out fo contract with Brighton this year and Adams has snapped him up on a free.

Brighton fans and the Brighton official website say that on a good day Brooker is great, but can have off days too and doesn't perform too well in mud! He's known as Bozza to some fans, or Boz the nerd or techno geek.
