From start to finish we did what we needed to do, created some chances, scored a really good goal [and had a] good attitude around the pitch against a top opponent." In a book so enjoyably mayhem-crammed as to make Howard Marks’s drug-smuggling memoir Mr Nice read like Barbara Pym. Nayfeld is wisely allowed to tell the tale in his own words for the most part, with Century only popping up occasionally to point out where these apparently candid reminiscences part company from other accounts. Century largely avoids the hero-worship that so often mars gangster biographies, but does admit to a suspicion that his own law-abiding Jewish immigrant grandparents might have had a grudging admiration for Nayfeld as an incarnation of the archetype of “the Jew with the indomitable spirit… The Jew whom absolutely nothing could break”.

The Last Boss of Brighton, review: a brilliant, blood-soaked

But some say the manager of the year accolade belongs to De Zerbi, who has excelled since Graham Potter's exit. Brighton have kept three consecutive Premier League clean sheets for only the second time, and the first since October 2018. He subsequently guided them to a series of superb results including two wins over Chelsea and further victories against Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal.

After a protracted war with chief rival Monya Elson – although Century describes it as “less of an outright war and more a series of double- and triple-crosses [and] spectacularly botched assassination attempts – as well as a few gruesomely successful ones” – he rose to be Brighton’s unchallenged crime king.Son Heung-min and Carlos Vinicius both tested Brighton keeper Robert Sanchez late on, Vinicius' effort in particular worrying the Spanish keeper.
