SULLY COULDNT SHOOT
Loyal2Family+Albion!
Congratulations Kerry. You deserve to be remembered. There was a time when Watson and Mayo were a class act back at the start of the great Albion recovery.
From Tim Carder's book:
566 - Ernie 'Tug' Wilson
491 - Peter O'Sullivan
488 - Norman Gall
466 - Bobby Farrell
443 - Bert Longstaff
436 - Glen Wilson
424 - Des Tennant
and now:
400 - Kerry Mayo
Pretty illustrious company.
He's been a brilliant player for us and he's a top bloke as well
Shows something about club loyalty nowadays. I've been watching Brighton for 34 years, and only saw O'Sullivan out of that list play.
Indeed congratulations Kerry - a model pro it has to be said. Steve Coppell himself said so.
Even when out the team due to loss of form you havent BLEATED or spat the dummy. I dont hear of you being left out due to disciplanary reasons or whatever, I dont see you stalling on deals (when you were in you prime) thinking something bigger may come along.
Kerry Mayo
Yep, plaudits fully deserved. Congratulations Kerry - a man who could still teach some of the younger players a thing or two about what it is to be a PROFESSIONAL footballer.
400th and last
But a great achievement
Not in terms of talent I hope, but as far as attitude and professionalism jokes like Cox aren't fit to lace his boots. My thoughts on his abilities are well documented on these pages, but in 11 years I've never heard a story relating to him being an ego or poorly disciplined. I know picking on Cox is the easy choice at the moment, and there are one or two other young players this applies to, but it makes the attitudes of some youngsters who've been in the game five minutes all the more disgraceful when you see someone in their twelth year not moaning despite the fact they're a bit-part player at best.
