Albion Roar - 10th April

[Fourteenth Eye]

This saturday we welome to the studio our special guest Mr John Vinnicombe ( former sports editor of the argus during the years in the top flight)

He promises to be a facinating guest who was there when the club was at its peak.

If you have any questions for John please post them here or email us at thealbionroar@yahoo.co.uk

Cheers

Ady

I played cricket with John's son Bob for many many years Kemp Town in the Brighton League ( and his grandson who was a cracking little spin bowler)

We all used to reminiss (sp) over pints after cricket games. Give him my regards please

Excellent news.

Blimey, no-one tells me nowt.

Didn't Mr V also do the match reports on BBC Radio Brighton in the 1970s? Or was that the late Jack Arlidge?

As listeners won't be able to make this call, I hope you will confirm to us either way.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Could you please come back? As Andy Naylor is a p***k.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

A fascinating listen!

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Just wanted to say how much I love John's books 'Up, Up and Away' and 'Super Seagulls' covering the 1978/79 and 1979/80 seasons. I fondly remember getting those books out of the library when I was a child.

Were there any plans for a book for 1980/81? Lots of people say the feeling of euphoria around the Albion went that season. What's John's take on what happened?

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

Very interesting and all good stuff about a certain Mr Goodwin!

 

[Fourteenth Eye]

As listeners won't be able to make this call, I hope you will confirm to us either way.

I can ndeed confirm that JV does still resemble Alan Whicker!!

I was certainly great value and has promised to come back at a later date

 

[Everest]

[Fourteenth Eye]

Fantastic prog. Really enjoyable. Made great by the fact that you all shut up and let him talk (was Al sedated?). Congratulations.
