Kerry Mayo RETIRES from professional football.

Brighton Hove Albion - Kerry Mayo is weighing up his options after forced retirement | Give Me Football


It appears he was offered a deal at Port Vale but his injury is still plaguing him, he said he wants to coach or help his mate out with some non football related work.

Best of luck Kerry, you may have had your doubters here but there is no denying your servitude to the club.

Good luck for the future Kerry, and thanks for your efforts for the past fourteen years of service.

Shame, best of luck to him. He seems to have been around so long it's hard to believe he's only 31

 

[itszamora]

Cue Withdean Wanderer I imagine...

 

[RM-Taylor]

Why does that article say he played 367 times for us when I clearly remember his 400th appearance?

He made 367 League appearances I believe

Kerrys Tiles it is then

Shame it had to end like this but well done to him on a great career at the albion.
Good luck to him for whatever he chooses to do.
I'm sure we will see him in the next few years involved with coaching at the albion.

I thought kerry's best season was when he was playing as a left wing back for copell in the championship. Position seemed to suit him and after the disaster of the first half of the season, saw Brighton holding their own against some strong opposition. Shame we went down. Kerry was very much part of what was almost a great escape.
Good luck Ginger Prince.

According to Soccerbase, it's 362 starts plus 50 as sub, scoring 14 goals.

Terrific servant to the club.

Sad news.

Treated shabbily by a minority of supporters who forgot what a loyal servant he was to the club he loved. An Albion great and left back during a great period in the club's history.

Kerry - If you read this, good luck for the future...You can come and give me a hand coaching my kids team if you like

I've said that for a couple of years now, though not necessarily a coach or manager here. Watching him in the reserves, you can see that he does have excellent organisational skills. Really.

“A friend of mine has also got a buildings insurance company selling to pub landlords with freehold properties and there’s a chance I could help him with that.”

I thought he said he was going to do roofing when he retired. Perhaps the pain he's experiencing has put him off climbing ladders, as he says it's painful climbing out of bed!

Good luck whatever the future brings, Kerry. It's been a pleasure watching you over the years.

I can now officially start feeling old, as all the time Kerry was still around, it didn't seem possible that the Goldstone days were so long ago!

 

[Uncle Buck]

I thought he played on the left of three centre-backs that season, not left wing-back?

He played in both positions that season.

[NS Herald]

Very sad for Kerry as he is still relatively young although probably better than a season with MA and the old boys at Vale

A rarity in the modern game and his loyalty should never be questioned.

Good luck for the future and I am sure he will have many happy memories from his proud Albion days

Is he the final playing link with The Goldstone?

 

[The Large One]

Playing link - yes. And so it ends...
