Fatboy Slim serenaded Albion fans in Athens with a classic Sussex anthem after the club’s historic win.
Brighton beat AEK Athens 1-0 last night to secure qualification to the Europa League knockout rounds.
More than 1,700 Albion fans went to the Greek capital for the club’s penultimate group match and many got to enjoy DJ Fatboy Slim’s live set in a club in the city.
The Hove DJ, real name Norman Cook, treated the crowd to the unofficial anthem of the county “Sussex by the Sea” during his set.
And Albion fans loved every moment after a night which saw them accidentally tear gassed by the Greek authorities who were trying to disperse Athens fans outside the Opap Arena.
