Albion claims to fame

[bright1064]

Sunday afternoon...boring! So I thought i'd ease the boredom with a thread about your Albion "Claim To Fame".

As long as you think it counts then put it down.

Mine are fairly poor but I will get the ball rolling anyway...

My step-cousin is the long term gf of Sam Gargan

I sometimes drink at Gerry Ryans pub in Lindfield

Off you go....

Sammy Nelson took me to my first game as part of a school trip.

That is all.

I go to Withdean for all the home games.

I was once spoken to by Brian Horton, he said. "What the f*** do you want!"

[Mr Banana]

I once presented Michel Kuipers with some cake from my hometown in Holland as a present (there is photographic evidence somewhere, ISN'T THERE ROZ?)

Ralph Brown gave me a lift back from a game once.

I once gave Albert Jarrett my bus pass after a journey with him from Lewes to Brighton. He was quiet. I don't know whether it was because I scared him.

I once had a piss in the company of Steve Melton.

I once went for a jog with Micky Adams. He was much fitter than me. He patted me on the head and told me I was brilliant. It made me feel warm and fuzzy and wish he was my dad.

I used to play football after school with Dean Cox, that's where he got all his skill from.

I hope yopur bus pass didn't have your photo on because I think young Albert may have been rumbled if he tried to use it!

I bought a can of coke once...

 

[Everest]

The first photo in the History book of the Albion is of my great grandad (Edgar Everest).

I once worked as an assisstant groundsman at the Goldstone.

 

[Easy 10]

my nephew is friends with Adam El Abd.

John Byrne bought me a pint in the Sussex (which was my HIGHLIGHT of 2007 - particularly as it was the night Croatia knocked us out of the Euros).

I hugged Paul McDonald at Hereford.

I've been in Adam Virgo's house and have shared a drink with him ( No it wasn't beer!) in the former Preston Park Tavern Pub. My dad is also friends with Ian Chapman .
