Brighton & Hove Albion have reportedly banned the autobiography of life president and former chairman Dick Knight from their club shops.

Knight has spoken of his 10-year attempt to build the Championship outfit's Amex Stadium in his book, which is called 'Mad Man'.

However, the club will not be selling copies in their club shops, which is said to have left Knight feeling "sad and puzzled", according to the Daily Mail.

While the Brighton hierarchy are said to have not given Knight a reason behind the snub, reports have suggested that it is related to him offering fans the chance to buy some of his 4% stake in the club through his book.
