Robbie Reinelt's 62nd-minute goal against Hereford on May 3 1997 has to be up there. That was the goal that kept a homeless Brighton, playing their fixtures 70 miles away at Gillingham's Priestfield Stadium, in the Football League - at Hereford's expense.
You might point to the arrival of owner Tony Bloom in 2009, or Chris Hughton in 2014, or Graham Potter in 2019, or Roberto de Zerbi in 2022.
